The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday congratulated the party’s candidate, Gboyega Oyetola, on what they called “his emphatic victory in the Osun State Governorship re-run elections,” claiming that “it was truly a tough contest and a hard-fought win.”
The party also hailed the “Osun electorate for bravely defending their votes despite the spirited attempts by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to rig and disrupt the election.”
“Our immense appreciation also goes out to the Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, who headed the party’s dedicated and selfless 63-member campaign committee for the Osun Governorship election,” the party said in a statement by its acting National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Yekini Nabena.
Nabena said “the Osun governorship victory is another morale boosting victory in the leadup to the 2019 general elections and solid attestation of the people’s support for the change agenda of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC Change administration.
“We assure the Osun electorate that the party will continue to work in their interest through responsive and people-centred governance.”
