The Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) congratulated Governor Abiodun and the good people of the State over the Supreme Court judgement.
The party in a statement made available to newsmen in Abeokuta by its Publicity Secretary, Asiwaju Akinloye Bankole, affirmed its commitment to democracy and expressing determination to bounce back in future elections.
The PDP acknowledged the constitutional closure of the matter, recognizing the Apex Court’s affirmation that the petitioners failed to provide sufficient evidence challenging the reelection of Governor Dapo Abiodun.
As the court asserted the validity of the Governor’s victory, the PDP extended congratulations to Abiodun and the people of Ogun State, emphasising the party’s unwavering dedication to democratic principles.
“While we acknowledge the Supreme Court’s ruling, our commitment to fostering a thriving democracy in Ogun State remains resolute.
