Ondo APC Congratulates Ayedatiwa, Others Over Tribunal Verdict

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State has hailed the victory of Governor Lucky Orimisan Ayedatiwa, and his deputy, Dr. Olaide Adelami, at the tribunal.

According to a statement signed by the party’s publicity secretary, Mr. Alex Kalejaye, the chairman of the party in the State, Engr. Ade Adetimehin, described the judgement as victory for President Bola Tinubu, National Chairman, His Excellency, Dr. Umar Ganduje, the All Progressives Congress and the good people of Ondo State.

The Election Petition Tribunal in Ondo State, led by Justice Benson Ogbubu, had earlier dismissed all the allegations by five political parties, including the People’s Democratic, and Social Democratic patties, and affirmed the candidate of APC, Dr. Ayedatiwa as the duly elected governor of Ondo State.

Adetimehin viewed the unanimous judgement as a judicial affirmation of the people’s mandate, which they willingly gave to the ruling party on November 16th last year.

The party chieftain called on the candidate of the people’s Democratic Party PDP, Hon. Agboola Ajayi, to return to the ruling APC, where he previously served as deputy governor.

“The PDP governorship candidate, Hon Agboola Ajayi, was once part of us. He has progressive orientation, having served as Deputy Governor for four years on our platform. I therefore appeal to him to return home”, Adetimehin added.

The party also commended residents of the Sunshine State for being resilient and peaceful, during the trial, and urged them to continue to support the APC government for more success stories.
