Supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State took to the streets on Wednesday to celebrate the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in Saturday’s presidential poll.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Wednesday declared President Buhari of the APC as winner having polled 15,191,847 votes as against his closest rival, Atiku Abubakar, who polled 11,255,978 votes.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that APC supporters were dancing and singing victory songs from the APC Secretariat in Okitipupa to other communities in the local council.

The supporters were also shouting slogans like “Sai Baba”, “Next Level” and “Four Plus Four” to the teeming residents who also joined in the jubilation.

NAN reports that the jubilation on highways in Okitipupa, however, impeded vehicular movement.

Mr Bode Ikulala, the APC Chairman in Okitipupa Local Government, told NAN that the victory of the president was in order as Nigerians had spoken through their votes.

He said that Buhari had done so much and his victory at the poll was not a surprise to Nigerians.

“President Buhari deserves a second term from all the things he has done and I think the Nigerian electorate have spoken through the ballot.

“I thank all party faithful and Nigerians at large who ensured that their votes counted, but our supporters must not mock the opposition.

“President Buhari will consolidate on the gains of democracy and Nigerians will enjoy a better life at the next level,” Ikulala said. (NAN)
