Former Vice President and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Atiku Abubakar, has described the victory of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola at the weekend election in Osun State as a measure of the popularity and acceptability of both the Governor and the opposition party.
Atiku made the statement on Sunday in a congratulatory message to Governor Aregbebesola for his ‘overwhelming re-election’ for a second term in office.
In a press statement signed by his media office in Abuja, Atiku said that the overwhelming victory recorded by the APC in the election ‘’is a clear indication that Governor Aregbesola is very popular man among the people of the state.’’
He said the support given to him and the political party that presented him were clear indications of this.
Atiku, whose wife is an indigene of Osun State that had earlier solicited the support of the people of the state to vote overwhelmingly for the APC candidate, also showed appreciation to the voters in Osun State for not letting him down as an in-law.
“The victory of Governor Aregbesola and the APC in the governorship election in Osun State is very symbolic. It shows clearly that my in-law and the incumbent governor is very popular among his people of Osun State.
“It also shows significantly that the people of Osun State are at home with the APC and the mass- oriented policies associated with our great party’’, the Turaki Adamawa said.
He said, “Our great party, the APC, is very appreciative of the decision that the people have taken. I am very confident that Governor Aregbesola will initiate more people-friendly policies that will make the APC come out stronger in future elections in the state and beyond,” Atiku said.
