MEMBERS and supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across the three senatorial districts of Ondo State trooped out on Wednesday to celebrate the victory of the party and President Muhammadu Buhari.

The celebration took place simultaneously at the state Secretariat of the party at Oyemekun road, Akure in the Central Senatorial district while the celebration was also held in Owo in the Northern Senatorial District of the state, while members of the party in the South Senatorial district converged on Igbokoda, in Ilaje local government area of the state to celebrate the President’s victory.
Although the APC lost the election in the state, the people said they are committed to the success of the Buhari’s administration

They explained that the state has shown commitment by kicking all odds and local sentiments to secure the result the party recorded.

The Chairman of the party in the state Hon Ade Adetimehin said the party has learnt its lesson from the loss recorded in the last Saturday’s elections, saying the party in the state must celebrate the President’s victory being the victory of the party and the people of Nigeria.

He said: ” We have learnt our lessons, we will bounce back better after we must have put our house in order. We are for Buhari here and we can’t change overnight. That notwithstanding, we have shown so much commitment to the re-election of Mr President
.“Our story is simple, though unfortunate, we are ready to go back to the drawing table. Our commitment is unshakable, our loyalty is unalloyed. Under the leadership of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, we are core Buharists.

“Our painful lost in the last Saturday’s elections has been rubbed off by the victory of President Buhari.”

President Buhari also visited the Situation Room earlier today (Wednesday), where he delivered his acceptance speech shortly after he was declared winner of the presidential election by INEC.

He thanked the over 15million Nigerians who voted to re-elect him for another four years in office.

He said: “I also thank the millions of volunteers, self-appointed overseers, canvassers, agents, escorts and sentries who sacrificed so much of their time and resources to ensure the success of these elections.

“I do not have the words adequate to thank them.’’(NAN)
