Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has hailed residents of the state for what he described as display of courage and resilience at Saturday’s presidential polls.
According to Akeredolu, the residents rose above the frustrations occasioned by scarcity of fuel and currency policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) as they turned out to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde, the governor described the people as unique in character and principle, adding that the voice of the people was unanimous and loud in choosing the candidates of the party across board.
The statement reads: “I am proud, to say the least, of our conduct in last Saturday’s election. We have shown again that we are unique people and deliberate in showing our commitment to strong values and principles.
“I thank you all for your display of love and support for all candidates of the APC. The huge votes garnered by our party in this last election is an unequivocal statement of your acceptability and support for our government in the state and the party.”
