Gov. Dapo Abiodun of Ogun has described the victory of the Senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Solomon Adeola, at the National and State Assemblies Elections Petition Tribunal as well-deserved.
This is contained in a congratulatory message issued in Abeokuta by the governor on Thursday.
The tribunal at its sitting in Abeokuta on Thursday affirmed Adeola’s victory in the Feb. 25 National Assembly election as the duly elected Senator for Ogun West Senatorial District.
The Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Candidate, Dada Adeleke had challenged declaration of Adeola as the winner of the election,
But Abiodun described the judgment which affirmed the victory of Adeola as a reflection of the will of the people as expressed through the ballot box in the Presidential, National Assembly, Governorship and House of Assembly elections.
The governor praised the courage of the three-man panel of judges for their courage in affirming the electoral victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the poll.
Abiodun assured that his administration would collaborate with all the elected representatives of the people at the national and state levels to ensure the spread of the dividends of democracy across all sectors.
