The Ondo state governor and chairman of South-west Governor’s Forum, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu Wednesday said the emergence of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the president-elect in Saturday election is a new dawn of renewed hope for the people of Nigeria.
In a statement he personally signed and titled Renewed hope for the people, Akredolu said: “I must hasten to join all the good people of this country to congratulate the winner of the keenly contested 2023 presidential election, the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the vice president-elect, Senator Kashim Shettima, on the well-deserved victory. I thank, profusely, my colleagues, especially the APC Northern Governors’ Forum, and the Southern Governors’ Forum, for making today’s victory a reality. Posterity will reserve a respectable place for them as ambassadors of peace, equity and justice.
“I congratulate the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, for keeping his promise to bequeath a legacy of credible elections to the country. The most cynical of critics will agree that there has been a tremendous progressive improvement on the electoral process since he assumed the leadership of this country. The conduct of elections has gone beyond mere avowals to ensure free and fair elections under this current administration.”
Akeredolu said he extends his courtesy to all Nigerians for making history and rendering nugatory the dark prophecies of workers of iniquity. They have exhibited uncommon resilience in the face of extreme provocation orchestrated by the enemies of this country to frustrate the whole process.
