Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State has congratulated Dr. Kola Balogun of the Peoples Democratic Party who beat him to the senatorial seat he contested for.
This good gesture was in a statement signed by Ajimobi’s Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy, Mr. Bolaji Tunji.
Ajimobi, who described the result of the election as unfortunate, also noted that no sacrifice was a lot for a leader to make.
His words, “The results of the Oyo South Senatorial District election have been released by INEC indicating that I lost to the PDP candidate.
“I hereby accept the result as announced. Although there were a number of grievous infractions and established electoral malpractices, I have decided to let go in the interest of peace.
“I, therefore, congratulate the declared winner, Dr. Kola Balogun; and our APC senators-elect, Abdulfatai Buhari and Teslim Folarin.
“If I lose the ticket and the party was able to gain, then it is nothing to feel sad about. APC has done well but we can always do better.”
