The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) would win the Ondo governorship election as it did in Edo governorship election on Saturday.
Naija News reported that the Ondo governorship election would be held in November. Akpabio said the victory of Monday Okpebholo in Edo has marked a turning point in the state’s politics.
The former governor of Akwa-Ibom State stated this on Sunday evening, in Benin, while speaking with newsmen, after Okpebholo was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“I believe that this a turning point in the politics of Edo State. I regard this day as a day of liberation. The will of God has been done today in Edo state. God’s will has been done today in Edo.
“I also want you to know that the will of God for people is nothing but progress, happiness, joy and prosperity for people,” he said.
The Senate President added that the people of Edo by voting for the APC candidate showed they have confidence in President Bola Tinubu. He enjoined Nigerians to exercise patience with the President.
He noted that the President met mess on the ground and had been working to turn the fortunes of the country.
“I believe the election of Edo, though very tense at the beginning, the outcome is a reflection of confidence that Nigerians have continued to express in President Bola Tinubu, that his administration met a mess on the ground but they are doing their best to turn around the fortunes of Nigeria.
“I want to tell you to remain patient and continue to support the president. What has happened in Edo is a clear reflection of what will happen in Ondo by special grace of God,” Senator Akpabio added.
