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.
