The Ondo State governorship election had come and gone, and Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of the All Progressive Congress had been declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Expectedly, there have been criticisms that the governor wouldn't have won if not for the unfortunate practice of vote buying popularly known as 'dibo koo sebe', while Aketi's faithfuls on the other hand believe that the incumbent's victory was due to his numerous achievements in all sectors across the State.
Either the victory was honourable or not, my personal view is that, the people just got what they deserved. If it's on the ground of 'dibo koo sebe', it implies that the people should prepare to spend the N5000 - N6000 they collected for another four years and keep warming up for the tears and pains that follow such act as well. Likewise, if the victory was due to the governor's bright performances, it means the people should be ready for another good governance of four years from Aketi. So, whatever might be the reason behind Akeredolu's victory, the people just got what they deserved.
I have a great pleasure therefore, to join the rest of Ondo people to congratulate His Excellency, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu on his re-election, and wish him the very best of luck in his second term in office.
