Governors of South West states; Lagos, Oyo, Ondo and Ekiti states have commended the reelection of President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term of four years, saying it is a referendum in support of integrity, good governance and the fight against corruption.
They spoke while reacting to Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), declaration of President Buhari as the winner of the Saturday’s presidential election.
Ajimobi
Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State in a statement by his Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy, Mr Bolaji Tunji, yesterday congratulated the President for his landslide victory over his major challenger, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP. Ajimobi said, “The victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in the face of odds and inexplicable desperation by the opposition to wrest the government at the centre gladdens my heart. It is a referendum in support of integrity, good governance and the fight against corruption. These are the values that the President and our great party, the APC, stand for and have been pursuing vigorously in the last four years.
“My appeal to the good people of Oyo State is to please vote for the APC in next Saturday’s governorship and House of Assembly elections. This will enable us to leverage on the party’s victory at the centre. Oyo State cannot afford to fall into the hands of the opposition. We have laid a solid foundation for the rapid socioeconomic development of our state and we should not wittingly take steps that will halt the momentum. “The interest and development of Oyo State will be guaranteed when we remain with the party at the centre, judging from past experience. I’m therefore appealing to the people of the state to entrust the APC with their mandate to continue the unprecedented legacy projects.” Read more
