1.I have just been told
the final results of the Ondo State governor ship election. As a party of
democrats, we in the Action Congress of Nigeria have always known that the
choice of who governs has always been that of the people in situations where
the electoral process is transparent and credible. Therefore, all politicians
worthy of their salt must always expect victory or defeat. We recognise that it
is the sovereign right of the people to decide what kind of government they
want. This is the challenge of democracy. Our party believes that there was and
still is need for change in Ondo State. Thus, our party will study carefully
the general details of the results with a view to taking a final position.
2. Our party has always been and remains proud of
our candidate, Mr. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, and this election has reinforced
our confidence in his ability to lead and stimulate life back into the Action
Congress of Nigeria in Ondo State. Through him, our party will continue to
express gratitude to the leadership and general members of our party and to the
electorate of Ondo State in general. We are glad that they performed that
brilliantly in spite of many challenges, glaring lapses in the system and
institutional inefficiency in the conduct of Ondo state governorship election.
3. I must congratulate our teeming members in Ondo
state for their hard work at resuscitating the party and putting it in a
position of reckoning in such a short time.
4. Our party will continue this post mortem
analysis of the lapses in all the institutions involved in the conduct of the
Ondo election.
