President Muhammadu Buhari Wednesday received the Governor-elect of Ondo State, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu at Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.
Akeredolu was accompanied to see the President by solid minister Kayode Fayemi and Plateau state governor Solomon Lalong a day after he received his certificate of return from INEC.
The Governor-elect, who won the election on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC) said during the certificate presentation ceremony that his victory is not for him or APC alone but for the good people of the Ondo state.
“It is a victory for the people of Ondo State, irrespective of which side of the ivide you stood during the election.
“For me it is a call to service and a challenge to perform. Although we all had different point of view before the election but today, as members of one strong, vibrant and indivisible Ondo State family, we are all united and resolute with one single objective to save our beloved state.
“I cannot thank enough, my fellow compatriots during this election, who had a separate conviction and voted elsewhere.
“They took the guts to answer the call of democracy to make a choice. I believe it is these resounding voices that have created this worthy moment which is making this victory real and refreshing.”
