Checkout Akeredolu's Mood after he was Declared Gov-elect of Ondo [photos]

 

Ondo governor-elect, Barrister Rotimi Akeredolu was all joyed yesterday as INEC declared him governor-elect of Ondo state. Photo above is Akeredolu immediately after INEC's Declaration, but the new governor looked a bit tensed up while the counting was on going, as seen in his immediate photos below. He immediately took to his tweeter handle to thank  voters and supporters before going on a road show of thanks and later had a get-together with a few friends and well wishers at this home... scroll to the bottom to see all photos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    

Below are 7 notable things he said:

1. Today’s victory is a confirmation of the willingness and readiness of the people of Ondo state to change and seek a better life.

2. I appeal to everyone to embrace peace. The safety of lives and property of the people should be of paramount importance to all.

3. This victory is of God through the people. It is not for me or the APC alone, it is a victory for the people of Ondo state irrespective of which side of the divide you stood during the election.

4. For me it is a challenge to perform. It is a call to rescue our state and reverse its fortunes.

5. Today, Change has come. I hereby make a solemn pledge that this collective mandate shall address all issues with keen determination.

6. The welfare of our people alone shall be the directive policy of the government.

7. I shall in few months be saddled with the task of providing responsible leadership, a leadership that would take our people from poverty and stagnation to productivity and prosperity, from pains and lamentation to joy and laughter.
