Plateau State Governor Simon Lalong has congratulated Rotimi Akeredolu SAN, on his re-election as Governor of Ondo State for another four-year term following his victory at the Saturday 10th October election.

This was contained in a statement signed by Dr. Makut Simon Macham ,his Director of Press and Public Affairs and made available to newsmen in Jos.

Governor Lalong who is the Deputy Chairman of the APC Ondo Governorship Campaign Council said the victory of Governor Akeredolu was well deserved considering his achievements in the last four years.

Lalong appreciated the resilience and faith of the people of Ondo State in their Governor, and the All Progressives Congress (APC), which he said is not going to be regretted because he has demonstrated to be a leader who has the interest of the people at heart.

While urging the electorate to continue to give the Governor unflinching support as he settles down to the business of governance, Lalong urged Governor Akeredolu to be magnanimous in victory and carry all Ondo people along irrespective of their socio-political affiliations.

He also commended the electorate for comporting themselves decently throughout the process of electioneering where they exhibited high sense of responsibility and decorum.

The Governor also gave credit to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for organizing credible, free and fair election, and applauded security agencies for their professionalism.

It would be recalled that Governor Simon Lalong was the Chairman of the Ondo State APC Governorship Campaign Council in 2016 when Governor Akeredolu was elected for the first time.
