President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday rejoiced with Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN) on his re-election as Governor of Ondo State for another four-year term.
In a statement by Presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina, President Buhari lauded the “resounding victory” of the Governor at the election held on Saturday, October 10, 2020.
According to the statement, the president noted that the votes garnered “show that one good turn surely deserves another.”
He thanked the people of Ondo State for keeping faith with their Governor, and the All Progressives Congress (APC), pointing out that “the people know the person and party that truly serve them, and have spoken in clear voice and unmistakable terms.”
He said President Buhari appreciated the electorate in Ondo State for comporting themselves decently and in orderliness, and for exhibiting conduct that indicated that the country was making progress in its electoral behavior.
He also gave kudos to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for organizing credible, free and fair election, and to security agencies which ensured that orderliness was enthroned and maintained.
The President urged Gov Akeredolu to be humble and magnanimous in victory, and to serve the people of Ondo State even better than how he did in the first term, noting: “when you serve with heart and might, the people respond in like manner, and we can easily get to where we are headed as a country.”
