Rotimi Akeredolu says Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the president-elect, has set up a reconciliation committee that will meet with opponents who lost to him in the recently concluded presidential election.
In a statement on Wednesday, Richard Olatunde, Akeredolu’s spokesperson, quoted the governor as saying that Tinubu has set up a reconciliation committee that will meet with other Presidential candidates that contested the last Saturday election with him.
According to him, the committee was set up to commence a healing process so that the parties can work together.
”A committee of elders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) would soon begin to meet with co-contestants of the president-elect in a bid to assuage their loss in the just concluded presidential election.
”Every aggrieved person will be met for reconciliation.
“The president-elect has set up committees to meet with the gentlemen who contested in the election for us to start the healing process. I belong to one of the committees. We are going to meet them and appeal to them so that we can work together.”
Akeredolu said the outcome of last Saturday’s presidential Election was a reflection of the wishes of the electorate.
The governor described the election as the freest ever held in the country.
“This is an election that was not padded. people who voted were counted, that is the way I see it, is not one which shows millions of votes.
”You can see the candidates, everyone won 12 states each, it has never been like that before.”
He added that the votes recorded by candidates of APC in the presidential and national assembly elections in Ondo state, shows the love of the people for Tinubu.
“Ondo people are progressives and we will always at least be on the side of progressivism,” he said.
“From the onset we are at the forefront of clamour for a Southern president and so we have to put everything we had into it and we got support that is why we are able to make it.”
