The ministerial nominee from Oyo State, Barrister Adebayo Shittu, has congratulated Governor Abiola Ajmobi on his victory on Tuesday at the governorship election petitions tribunal.
Ajimobi, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, floored the candidate of the Accord Party, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, who challenged his victory in the April 11, 2015 election.
Shittu, in a press statement personally signed by him on Tuesday, said he was not surprised by the verdict of the tribunal legitimizing the election of Governor Ajimobi.
According to the statement: “As the collating officer for Ajimobi in Saki West Local Government Area and as a lawyer, I know that the governorship election in Oyo State was duly won by Governor Ajimobi, and that the election will stand the test of litigation in any court.
“I want to personally congratulate the governor for this victory and also wish him success as he thrives to improve on the socio-economic well-being of the people of Oyo State.”
Shittu also called for total support of politicians and everyone in Oyo State for the ruling APC government.
