President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the Ondo State governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, on his victory at the just-concluded gubernatorial election.​


Naija News reported that Aiyedatiwa secured victory in all 18 local government areas of the state, defeating his closest rival, Agboola Ajayi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and other candidates.

President Tinubu in a statement through his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the election was another litmus test of the capacity of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), affirming that the electoral body justified the confidence of the people with early preparations, deployment of staff and materials, and handling of the electoral process.

Tinubu urged candidates dissatisfied with the election’s outcome to explore the opportunities provided by the judicial system to seek redress in conflict areas.

The statement added, “President Bola Tinubu felicitates with the winner of Saturday’s Ondo State Governorship election, Mr. Lucky Aiyedatiwa of the All Progressives Congress, while also commending the peaceful conduct of the process.

“The President congratulates Aiyedatiwa and other candidates of the 17 political parties for the maturity and sense of purpose demonstrated during the campaigns and the election, attributing the success of the polls to the civility in the state.

“He enjoins the political actors to allow their orderly conduct to permeate the post-election activities and processes.

“The President also commends INEC for the efficiency of uploading more than 98 per cent of results on the same day of the elections.

“President Tinubu extends his appreciation to the Nigerian Police Force, National Civil Defence Corps, Federal Road Safety Corps, National Youth Service Corps, the military and other security outfits for their professionalism in maintaining peace and order.”
