The APC Campaign Council for the Osun governorship election has expressed satisfaction with the outcome of Thursday’s supplementary election in the state.
The party said the people have “emphatically pitched their tent with the ruling party.”
In a statement signed on Thursday by the Chairman of the Council’s Media Committee, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the Council also congratulated the Governor-elect, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, the outgoing Governor Rauf Aregbesola and all APC members for the “well deserved but hard-earned victory.”

APC in the statement also commended INEC and the security agencies for what they described as a “largely peaceful and orderly election, as attested to by local and international observers.”
The Council said the biggest winner in the election is the democracy and gave the credit to Osun voters as well as the ruling APC.
”As a party of change, we believe strongly in the democratic process. We believe in the ability of the relevant institutions to carry out their assigned responsibilities and we believe in the ability of the people to do what is right.
“This is the right thing to do, considering the impressive performance of the APC-government in Osun in the last eight years,” it said.
The Council advised the opposing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to stop issuing threats but to take full advantage of the democratic process if it has any grouse with the supplementary election.
