The governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu has said the president-elect, Bola Tinubu has set up a committee to reconcile with other presidential candidates of other parties.

He said the committee contains elders of the All Progressives Congress, the ruling party.

Akeredolu in a statement issued by his chief press secretary, Richard Olatunde said the election reveals the wishes Of the electorate.

He also said that every aggrieved person will be met for reconciliation.

The statement reads “The president-elect has set up committees to meet with the gentlemen who contested in the election for us to start the healing process. I belong to one of the committees. We are going to meet them and appeal to them so that we can work together.”

This is an election that was not padded. People who voted were counted, that is the way I see it, not one which shows millions of votes. You can see the candidates, everyone won 12 states each, it has never been like that before.”

Akeredolu said the votes recorded by APC candidates in Ondo show the love of the people for his administration, putting in that the people “willingly” supported his outcry for a southern president.

“Ondo people are progressives and we will always, at least, be on the side of progressivism. From the onset, we were at the forefront of clamor for a southern president and so we have to put everything we had into it and we got the support, that is why we can make it,” the governor said.

On Wednesday, Bola Tinubu was declared the president-elect and was issued the Certificate of Return to him and his running mate, Kashim Shattima after defeating his opponents on Saturday’s poll.

Tinubu scored 8,794,726 votes against Atiku Abubakar of the PDP who polled 6,984,520 votes and Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate who scored 6,101,533 votes.
