The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the verdict of the Supreme Court affirming Gov. Dapo Abiodun as governor of Ogun State as a sweet landmark judgment, long in coming but well-deserved.
Ogun APC said this in a statement by Mr Tunde Oladunjoye, its State APC Publicity Secretary in Abeokuta on Friday.
The Supreme Court on Friday, affirmed Abiodun as duly elected governor of Ogun in the March 2023 governorship election in the state.
Oladunjoye noted that the judgment served the course of justice and quoted the party Chairman, Yemi Sanusi , as congratulating the governor and his Deputy, Noimot Salako-Oyedele on the landmark judgment by the apex court.
“We salute the incorruptible and courageous justices of the Supreme Court for upholding the concurrent verdicts of the lower courts. They have shown that truly, justice lies with the judiciary.
“We also want to congratulate our gentleman and hardworking governor and his deputy, on this sweet landmark judgment. It has been long in coming but well-deserved.
“Now that the matter has been finally laid to rest, we urge our amiable governor and his team to increase the tempo of their transformational governance in our dear state.
“And we again, for the umpteenth time, urge the losers to purge themselves of their illusions and join hands with Abiodun to take our dear state to greater heights.
” They should stop the politics of bitterness and offer constructive criticisms and ideas on how to make our state a better place for all.
“We also wish to congratulate the good people of Ogun for their steadfastness and support for the APC-led administration in spite of the needless distractions and antics of the opposition,” he said.
