A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State Toyin Balogun has hailed the Supreme Court judgment on the Osun State governorship election.
According to him, the victory of Governor Gboyega Oyetola was a confirmation of the people’s will. Balogun added that the state could now witness progress and development because the Supreme Court had halted the quagmire to hold Osun people to ransom.
“It is time to face the reality of building Osun State. I urge all and sundry to lend their support to good governance in the state,” he said.
The Director, Centre for Black Culture and International Understanding, Osogbo, Osun State, Prof. Siyan Oyeweso, has also congratulated Oyetola for his electoral victory.
He said the verdict had settled the climate of political uncertainty that pervaded the state after the 2018 election.
Oyeweso, in a statement, said all hands must be on deck to ensure the best for the state.
The statement reads: “It is my pleasure and that of my constituency to congratulate Your Excellency on the reaffirmation of your mandate as the elected governor of Osun State by the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
“Like every stakeholder in the politics and governance of our state, I keenly awaited the court verdict to resolve the political uncertainly, and to the glory of God, the judgment came in your favour.
“With the court distraction out of the way, I believe that you will put your private and public sectors experience to reposition the economy of our state. This will ensure good governance and the delivery of dividends of democracy.
“I am sure that our state, under your watch, will soon become a model of good governance, sustainable infrastructure development and social welfare.”
