Eko-Davies, in a statement made available to journalists in Akure on Thursday, hailed the stakeholders, especially the Independent National Electoral Commissioner (INEC), politicians, parties and security personnel for playing according to the rules of the game.

According to him, this made the process more credible with equity and fairness to all, which was responsible for the calmness and peace across the length and breadth of Ondo State.

He said, “Akeredolu won the keenly contested re-election bid on the ticket of APC over his closet challenger, Eyitayo Jegede of PDP who came second, while Agboola Ajayi of ZLP was in a distant third.

“Congratulations Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu and Deputy Governor-Elect Lucky Aiyedatiwa on your well-deserved victory at the Ondo State governorship polls” .

“Your visionary and friendly leadership especially in the last three and half years have proven to be the magic behind the ongoing developmental strides of your government in the Sunshine State” .

Eko-Davies also appreciated the efforts of Engr. Ade Adetimehin led executives and Senator Tayo Alasoadura for the victory recorded on Saturday’s gubernatorial poll.

He, however, urged Governor Akeredolu to run all-inclusive and participatory governance with a premium placed on the well-being of everyone, for more progress and development of the state.
