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.
