Bola Ahmed Tinubu, National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has congratulated Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State on his victory at the Court of Appeal.

Anaedoonline.ng recalls that the Court of Appeal sitting in Akure, the Ondo State capital, on Wednesday, upheld the election victory of Governor Akeredolu of the All Progressives Congress in the last governorship election in the state.

In its ruling, the appellate court dismissed the appeal filed by Eyitayo Jegede of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for lack of merit.

In a congratulatory message on Thursday, Tinubu commended Governor Akeredolu for staying strong all through the court process.

Tinubu also appreciated the governor for working with other candidates for the development of the state.

“Congratulations to Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, and his Deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, for the Court of Appeal judgment affirming their overwhelming victory in the governorship election in the state.

“By this judgment, the appellate court clearly shows that Governor Akeredolu and Deputy Governor Aiyedatiwa were the candidates who the people of Ondo chose to pilot their affairs for the next four years.

“The confidence the people repose in the Akeredolu administration has been well earned and should be wholly respected.
