By ISAAC OLUSESI

The governorship election in Ondo State has shown the determination of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at ensuring that the sanctity of the electoral right of Nigerians is not compromised, Dr Thomas Olaleye Ogungbangbe has said

Reacting to the outcome of the election, held last weekend, the All Progressive Congress (APC)chieftain from the East Senatorial District of Osun State, stressed that the outstanding efforts of the federal government at the consolidation of democracy and elections would continue to accord the nation a deserving role in regional and global affairs.

The politician from Ife/Ijesa axis of Osun said that the Ondo gubernatorial election that saw Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa as governor-elect is our democracy, respectable for its time-tested tenets and the election outcome shows the primacy of niceties of political party pluralism and democratic ethos, attuned to the government free rein that permitted the ultimate decision or expressed will of Ondo people as power giver. 

The seasoned businessman and Chairman, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of CITA ENERGIES  stated, the Ondo gubernatorial election was free, fair and credible. "As monitored by me, the outcome of the election cannot elicit any suspicious hurt, nothing inclined to logjams and precipice to cause any anxiety in the farrago of collateral electoral damages and paralyze the election outcome," he said,  dismissing any such claims, contra the outcome of the election, as unpatriotic and misleading. 

The esteemed scion of the Ajagbusi Ekun Royal Dynasty of Iloko Ijesa in Oriade local government council area of Osun, commended the nation's election organizing body, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the people of Ondo, APC, and other political parties for the successful conduct of the election. "APC will win more states," he posited. 

Ogungbangbe congratulated the governor-elect, charging him to ignore any pussyfooting, and set at bringing harmony to both Ondo political titans in the electoral race, other polarized political actors in the corollary to the election, as definitive instrument of the administration of the state, even as he opined that Governor Aiyedatiwa would re-appraise and re- prioritize the critical areas of his governance and policy objectives with increased dedication to further cardinal commitment of his administration at engendering more meaningful growth and development of his state.
