STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE
PRESIDENT JONATHAN CONGRATULATES AREGBESOLA, SAYS OUTCOME OF OSUN ELECTIONS REAFFIRMS FG'S COMMITMENT TO FAIR ELECTIONS
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.
Reuben Abati
Special Adviser to the President
