Aregbesola’s victory: It’s a painful day for us —Presidency


 Following the victory of Governor Rauf Aregbesola in the just concluded Osun state election, the presidency has expressed its deep feeling.   

The presidency’s reaction to the development in Osun State was given by the Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Prof. Rufai Alkali, when he spoke to journalists at the headquarters of G2G, one of the support groups for President Jonathan’s 2015 presidential bid in Asokoro, Abuja.

“Today we would have celebrated Osun victory, it is however, a very painful day for us because the PDP candidate and the party had completed their home work and we know the people of Osun are tired of what is happening in the state, but here we are.”

Throwing a jab at the APC, he said: “I hope the APC, which is in the habit of complaining of having security agencies in ensuring enabling environment for election and is consistent in controversy and rejecting election results, will reject this Osun State gubernatorial election result.”
