“This victory which is coming three weeks after our National Convention is a huge vote of confidence on our party and the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“I congratulate Ekiti people for formally closing the remnants of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the South West despite the intimidation, harassment they suffered in the hands of the out-going PDP government prior to the elections.

“As a party, we urge Dr Fayemi to concentrate in earnest in the task of rebuilding the state after four years of PDP wreckage.

“In moments like this, he must resist the temptation of vengeance and channel his energy to rebuilding the state.
