The head of Osinbajo Media Organisation, Richard Akinnola, has congratulated Bola Tinubu for his victory at the concluded presidential primary of the APC on Wednesday.
Tinubu scored over 1,000 votes to defeat his closest contenders, Rotimi Amaechi and Yemi Osinbajo.
However, Akinnola in his message, said he has no regret over his support for the vice president.
In a statement released before Tinubu was announced as winner, Akinnola said:
“Congratulations, Asiwaju Tinubu, the presumed winner of the primaries. In any contest, there must be a winner.
However, I’m very proud of my choice of support in the person of Prof. Yemi Osinbajo. I have no iota of regret over my support for him. It was a privilege to play a pivotal role for him during the process. I would gladly do it over and over again. It’s a matter of conviction. And for all our supporters and other volunteers who worked assiduously, day and night on the PYO project, God bless you all. I’m so proud of all of you. As l often say, God rules in the affairs of men and He has a purpose for what just happened.
“Understandably, many of you are dispirited and downcast but do not let your heart be troubled. There must be a reason God allowed this. It may not be manifest to us now but later as He is all-knowing. I’m unfazed, unbowed, and VERY PROUD of PYO. “
