President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday joined members of All Progressives Congress (APC) in felicitating with Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State over the Supreme Court judgement, which upheld his re-election in the October 10, 2020 polls.
A statement issued by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity), which disclosed this, said the President urged the governor, and all elected leaders of the governing party, to always place the people first in their consideration of development programmes and projects, affirming that the popularity of the APC would continue to depend on performance and acceptance by the electorate.
The statement said the President Buhari extolled the Ondo State governor for assiduously working for the development of the state, with reforms that continue to attract the goodwill of investors, and insistence that education, health and security take priority.
The President noted that the Supreme Court judgement, preceded by that of the Court of Appeal, further bolstered the strength and reach of the APC and its bright chances of consolidation in coming elections.
President Buhari called on the opposition to sheathe the sword, work for the development of Ondo State, and wishes the government and people a prosperous future.
