Akeredolu, who was out of the state for official engagements shortly after the judgment on Wednesday, was received with pomp and pageantry at the Akure Airport, Oba-Ile.There was a long motorcade of leaders, members and supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress in the state who sang various thanksgiving songs to welcome the governor at the airport.
Akeredolu was flanked by his Deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa; the Acting Chairman of the APC in the state, Engr. Ade Adetimehin; members of the National Assembly and members of the state House of Assembly led by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Bamidele Oleyelogun.Others among the entourage included the Chief of Staff, Chief Gbenga Ale, members of the State Executive Council and local government chairmen.
While noting that the Supreme Court judgment was a call to more service, he added that it was another opportunity to recalibrate and ensure that the yearnings of the people were given front burner attention.He explained that the APC did not only defeat the PDP at the poll by winning 15 out of the 18 local government areas in the state, but also defeated the opposition party in the court with 12 judges ruling in favour of the APC and only three for the PDP.
The governor called on his major challenger, Eyitayo Jegede, SAN, to come and join hands with him to work for the development of the state.He added: “I want to say that I feel really good myself personally but I think in everything, we just have to give glory and honour to the Almighty.
