By Adeola Abdullah
President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Ekiti State Governor-elect, Biodun Oyebanji.
Buhari described the victory as a “very well deserved victory, considering his contributions to the development of Ekiti State and the APC, over the years.
“The APC is getting stronger and more united. The victory of our party in Ekiti is an indication of the confidence of Nigerians in the ability of our great party to deliver quality governance to all.
“All @OfficialAPCNg members across and outside the country should see this victory as a good omen for the 2023 general elections, and work assiduously to ensure the party’s victory, continuing the trend with Osun State next month.
“I congratulate the people of Ekiti State on the smooth conduct of the election; they are the real victors, having been able to freely chose their leader for the next four years.”
Buhari also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the smooth conduct of the elections.
He said “Commendation must also go to @inecnigeria and the law enforcement agencies for the extensive preparations put in place. This momentum must be maintained for all the upcoming elections.”
