State Governor, Yahaya Bello has congratulated Governor Isiaka Oyetola Of Osun
State on the affirmation of his electoral victory by the Supreme Court today.
In
a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Onogwu
Muhammed, Governor Bello described the Supreme Court judgment as victory for
democracy and enjoined Governor Oyetola to extend hands of fellowship to his
opponents and ensure that the state gets purposeful leadership.
“I
have been at election tribunal down to the Supreme Court and can attest to the
level of distraction a Governor and his administration face on account of some
needless litigations, but a calm disposition, open-mindedness and inclusiveness
towards everybody; including those who instituted litigations against you, is
what defines a true leader”, Bello said.
He
urged Governor Oyetola to build on the policies that have defined him as a good
ambassador of the All Progressives Congress while sustaining the programmes and
developmental agenda of his state in line with the party manifesto.
He
said after all the legal tussles; the lesson is to ensure that the citizens are
repaid with good governance which is a proof that their confidence in their
leader were not misplaced.
Governor
Bello noted that the ruling of the Supreme Court on the Osun state Governorship
Election appeal will go a long way in restoring the confidence and hope of the
Nigerian people on the sanctity of the judiciary as the last hope of the common
man and lauded the highest court for standing strong in the defense of the law
and constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Bello
thanked the people of Osun State for standing behind their governor and listening
to his call for calm and patience all through the duration of the legal journey
from Tribunal, Appeal and to Supreme Court and urged the citizens to set aside
political differences in the interest of the development of the state.
