President
Goodluck Jonathan yesterday congratulated Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola
on his victory in Saturday’s governorship election.
In a
statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, the
President also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission and
national security agencies for ensuring that the election was free, fair,
credible and peaceful in line with the commitment of his Administration.
He
applauded Osun people who came out en masse in all the local government
areas of the state to peacefully and freely exercise their democratic right.
The
statement said the President believed that the free, fair and peaceful
conduct of the election fully reaffirmed his administration’s
determination to positively reform Nigeria’s electoral process.
The
statement reads: “The outcome of the election has also given the lie to the
false, unfair and uncharitable allegations that measures put in place by the
federal government for the Ekiti and Osun State elections were partisan and
designed to achieve a favourable outcome for his party.
“As
Governor Aregbesola prepares to begin a second term in office, President
Jonathan looks forward to continuing to work with him and other state governors
to further improve the living conditions of Nigerians in Osun and other states
of the country.” It stated
