Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has extended his congratulations to Ondo state governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, over his victory at the just concluded gubernatorial election.
Despite being part of the All Progressive Congress (APC) delegates at Aiyedatiwa’s house to celebrate his victory, Sanwo-Olu took to his X handle on Sunday to again congratulate the Ondo governor-elect.
The Lagos State governor commended Ondo people for their support to the party and their acknowledgement of the foundation laid by the late former governor of the state, Rotimi Akeredolu.
He, however, attributed the election success to President Bola Tinubu’s strong leadership and the dedication of all the campaign council members.
“Congratulations to Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa on his victory in the Ondo State gubernatorial election.
“I thank the people of Ondo State for their unwavering support for our party, and acknowledge the foundation laid by the late Governor Akeredolu, which Governor Aiyedatiwa has built upon.
“Our campaign’s success reflects the strong leadership of President Bola Tinubu and the dedication of all the campaign council members.” Sanwo-Olu wrote.
NPO Reported that Aiyedatiwa emerged winner of the Ondo governorship election with 366,781 votes to defeat the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) candidate, Agboola Ajayi, who recorded 117,845 votes.
