Kano State Governor, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, and his Niger State counterpart, Abubakar Sani-Bello, have congratulated the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Biodun Oyebanji, on his huge victory in the keenly contested Ekiti State governorship election which held on Saturday.
Ganduje, in a statement signed by the Kano Commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba, a copy made available on Monday stated that the wide margin of votes between the Ekiti governor-elect and co-contestants clearly demonstrates the trust and confidence of Nigerians across the country in the APC.
While saluting the APC both at the state and national levels on the peaceful and successful conduct of the poll, Governor Ganduje also commended the people of Ekiti State for making the right choice.
He further said that the victory at the poll clearly indicated that the outgoing governor, Kayode Fayemi has performed well which endeared the people of Ekiti State more to the ruling APC in the state.
Ganduje tasked the governor-elect to be benevolent in victory by carrying along all the people in the state for continued good governance.
