Rotimi Akeredolu, governor of Ondo state, has congratulated
the governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in
the just concluded elections.
The APC secured 15 states, including Lagos, Kaduna, Ogun,
Ebonyi, and Benue, out of the 28 where elections were conducted on March 18.
In a statement signed by Richard Olatunde, the governor’s
spokesperson, Akeredolu said the success of the party at the poll showed that
the idea of “political progressivism” as espoused by the party is taking firm
root in Nigeria.
He said the victory of the governors-elect despite strong
opposition is an energiser for the growth and development of the party.
“I rejoice with all
governors-elect on the platform of our great party, the APC. Your emergence is
a tonic and energiser for the growth and development of the party.
Progressivism has come to stay in Nigeria’s political space,” he said.
“Undoubtedly, your victory is the needed elixir for our
great party to take firm roots in the political firmament of our nation. Since
political parties thrive on popularity and relevance, you have further
sustained the body and soul of our party.
“On the strength of our party’s manifestos and ideology, we
shall together help deliver dividends of good governance to the Nigeria people
in line with the renewed hope mantra of our president-elect, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu.
“Once again, I
congratulate my colleagues re-elected for a second term in office. Your
performance and hard work paid off. You had blazed the trail for a long and
your people have rewarded you by reinvesting their mandate with you.
“We must salute all those who toiled to bring to fruition
this comforting feat. Our victory as a party belongs to the people who have
chosen to embrace APC despite all odds.
“As we enjoy this enthralling moment, let us prepare for the
task ahead. We have recorded great leaps
as a party. We must be ready to drive agenda that will sustain and maintain the
goodwill enjoyed by our party among the people.
“I am particularly enamoured by the track record and
antecedents of most of the governors-elect. It shows that our party recognises
excellence. I have no doubt that you are all fresh and resourceful and
committed to upholding our ideals and common cause.”
