National Chairman of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Chief Bisi
Akande, has said the party is very proud of its candidate in the
Saturday governorship election in Ondo State, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu,
(SAN), notwithstanding the result of the poll.
Akande in a statement made available to our
correspondent in Akure on Saturday, said the ACN would continue to
respect the rights of the people in determining who governs them.
He said, “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
interest in the Action Congress of Nigeria in Ondo State.
“Through him, our party will continue to express
gratitude to the leadership and members of our party and to the
electorate of Ondo State in general.
“We are glad that they performed brilliantly in spite
of many challenges, glaring lapses in the system and institutional
inefficiency in the conduct of Ondo State governorship 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.”
