The governor of Ondo stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) elders’ committee was established to reconcile Tinubu and his opponents.
Akeredolu stated in a statement signed by his spokesman, Richard Olatunde, that the committee will meet with every aggrieved party and urge them to work together.
The governor added that the presidential election accurately reflected the preferences of the electorate, stating that the process was legitimate.
“The President-elect has established committees to meet with those who ran against him in the election so that we can begin the healing process,” he said. I am a member of one of the committees. We will meet with them and appeal to them so that we can collaborate.

“This election was not manipulated. People who voted were counted, as far as I am concerned, and not millions of votes. It has never been like this, with each candidate winning 12 states.
Akeredolu stated that the votes garnered by Tinubu in Ondo demonstrate the people’s affection for his administration, and that the people “willingly” supported his campaign for a Southern President.
He added, “Ondo people are progressives, and we will always be on the side of progressivism at the very least. We were at the forefront of the demand for a southern president from the beginning, so we had to put everything we had into it and we received support, which is why we are able to succeed.”
Remember that Tinubu received 8,794,726 votes to defeat Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with 6,984,520 votes and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) with 6,101,533 votes.
