Oyo state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday congratulated Governor Seyi Makinde over the Supreme Court judgment that affirmed his victory.
Oyo APC, in a congratulatory message signed by its spokesperson, Mr Olatunde Azeez on behalf of the party asked the governor to use the validation of his mandate to focus on governance in the state.
“On behalf of all APC in Oyo State, we congratulate His Excellency, Engr. Seyi Makinde for the court affirmation of his electoral victory.
“We want to challenge him to utilise the opportunity of the validation of his mandate to focus on governance and remove himself from pettiness because as the governor of the state, he is the governor of all Oyo State indigenes, not just a section of the state”, he said.
Azeez said the Oyo APC having exhausted the legal means of resolving the election dispute, urged everyone in the state to continue to be law-abiding
The opposition party further advised Makinde to allow the court that affirmed his election to also decide on the third tier of governance in the state by not allowing impunity to reign.
The APC, however advised Governor Makinde to desist from threatening the duly and legitimately elected local government’s chairmen and councilors, noting that President Muhammadu Buhari did not threaten his legitimacy.
