Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq

Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has congratulated his Osun State counterpart, Gboyega Oyetola, on his victory at the Supreme Court.

The apex court ruled in Mr Oyetola’s favour on Friday and dismissed an appeal filed by the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the September 2018 election, Ademola Adeleke.

“The decision of their Lordships is a boost for steady rise of the state and a fillip for my brother Governor to continue to deliver the dividends of democracy to the good people of his state,” a statement by the governor’s spokesman, Rafiu Ajakaye, said.

“I also congratulate the leaders and members of our party (APC) for this victory as it again established the growing popularity of the party.

“I recall that the leaders and members of our party put in a lot of hard work into the campaign, resulting in the hard-won victory at the polls.

“We, as one of Osun’s closest neighbours, are using this opportunity to express our readiness to work with His Excellency Governor Oyetola so that, together, we can better serve the interests of our people,” the governor said.
