The All Progressives Congress (APC) says it welcomes the ruling of the Supreme Court, affirming the election of Gboyega Oyetola, as the Governor of Osun State.
The ruling party said this, in a statement issued in Abuja, on Friday, by its National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu.
“Our great party also congratulates Gov. Oyetola and indeed the Osun State chapter of the party, for successfully defending our legitimate mandate.
“This ruling now cements the majority status of progressive governors in the country.
“Undoubtedly a closely- contested election, we commend the apex court’s decision, which is in tandem with the choice of the Osun State electorate, who voted for continuity and our Party’s Change Agenda,” Issa-Onilu said.
According to him, the ruling will now allow Gov. Oyetola-led APC administration in Osun state, to focus on the core business of governance and implementation of its peoples developmental plans for the state.
“Finally, we seek the cooperation of all stakeholders in the state; particularly the political actors, to support the Gov. Oyetola’s administration in its bid to develop the state,” he said.
