Despite
the recent defeat of Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu, (SAN), the gubernatorial
candidate of Action Congress of Nigeria(ACN), in the just concluded Ondo
State’s elections, the National Chairman of the party,Mr Bisi Akande
has revealed that they were still proud of its candidate,
notwithstanding the result of the poll.
According to Akande in a communiqué, the leading opposition party,
ACN will continue to stay strongly behind its candidate and electorates.
The statement reads in part: “Our party has always been and remains
proud of our candidate, Mr. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, (SAN), and this
election has reinforced our confidence in his ability to lead and
stimulate interest in the Action Congress of Nigeria in Ondo State.
“Through him, our party will continue to express gratitude to the
leadership and members of our party and to the electorate of Ondo State
in general.
“We are glad that they performed brilliantly in spite of many
challenges, glaring lapses in the system and institutional inefficiency
in the conduct of Ondo State governorship election.
“As a party of democrats, we in the Action Congress of Nigeria have
always known that the choice of who governs has always been that of the
people in situations where the electoral process is transparent and
credible.
“Therefore, all politicians worthy of their salt must always expect
victory or defeat. We recognise that it is the sovereign right of the
people to decide what kind of government they want.
“This is the challenge of democracy. Our party believes that there was and still is need for change in Ondo State.
“Thus, our party will study carefully the general details of the results with a view to taking a final position,” it added.
