Ekiti
State Governor, Engr. Segun Oni has dedicated his victory at the Election Petitions
Tribunal to God and the good people of Ekiti State, saying;
“We thank God, the judiciary has once again lived up to expectations.”
Governor Oni, who moved to the Government House
Chapel with his Deputy, Dr. Sikiru Tae Lawal, State Chairman of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Rot. Bola Olu Ojo and other top
government functionaries for a thanksgiving service immediately after the judgment
said he bears no grudge against anyone.
He thanked the people of the State for their
support and steadfastness in the face of provocation from political empire
seeking warlords, saying; “Ekiti is not a State to be captured by any external
forces, which are only bent on adding Ekiti to the comity of their economic and
political colony.
“Today, God again demonstrated His absolute power. He
put to shame all the manipulations of evil forces that are bent on enslaving
Ekiti state. God, in His infinite mercies proved that truth will always prevail
over falsehood no matter how long it takes.
“I also salute the courage of the judiciary for
putting an end to the evil machinations of those who believed that Ekiti State
and the entire Nigeria
can be purchased at any cost.
“The judgment has further demonstrated that our
judiciary would always rise above sentiment and cheap propaganda with which public opinions are
being manipulated by those who have substantial interest in the media. “ |
