President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Sunday congratulated Governor Rauf
Aregbesola of Osun State on his victory in Saturday's governorship
election in the state.
The president made this known in a statement signed by Reuben Abati
Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity) read thus
"President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan congratulates Governor Rauf
Aregbesola of Osun State on his victory in Saturday's governorship
election in the state.
The President commends the Independent National Electoral Commission
and national security agencies for ensuring that the elections were
free, fair, credible and peaceful in keeping with the avowed
commitment of his Administration.
President Jonathan also applauds the people of Osun State who came out
en masse yesterday in all the local government areas of the state to
peacefully and freely exercise their democratic right, trusting in his
assurance that all necessary measures would be taken to ensure their
safety and the sanctity of their votes.
The President believes that the free, fair and peaceful conduct of the
elections have fully reaffirmed his administration's determination to
positively reform Nigeria's electoral processes.
The outcome of the election has also given the lie to the false,
unfair and uncharitable allegations that measures put in place by the
federal government for the Ekiti and Osun State elections were
partisan and designed to achieve a favourable outcome for his party.
As Governor Aregbesola prepares to begin a second term in office,
President Jonathan looks forward to continuing to work with him and
other state governors to further improve the living conditions of
Nigerians in Osun and other states of the country.
He wishes Governor Aregbesola continued good health and a successful
second term in office."
