Speaking on the recent controversy, of the omission of the name of "Bola Ahmed Tinubu" in his victory speech, the Ondo State, Governor-Elect, Rotimi Akeredolu has said, “On the names that were
mentioned in my speech when expressing gratitude and that I didn’t
specifically thank Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I thanked the President and the
leader of our party profusely for the leadership which he showed leading
to this election.
“I also thanked our indefatigable
chairman for standing by the truth and for his position on this matter
that led to this election. I have no reason to do otherwise.
“Party structure, to the best of my
knowledge, is very clear. You have the leadership of the party and that
is represented by Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
“After an election, a chief executive
emerges, he becomes a leader of the party, you don’t have to personalise
and be looking for leaders all over the place.
“If we have to do that, then I will have
to mention 36 or 37 leaders. So, I believe the leadership as
represented by the President covers all leaders and that tells me it
would include Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu, it would include even Baba
Akande, (Ogbonnaya) Onu, and so many leaders.
“But President Buhari is the leader of the party. So, that is my position there.”
