Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun has said that he went through a more turbulent electoral process than any of his predecessors in the state.

Speaking with journalists on Sunday in Abeokuta, Abiodun said that before his election victory was challenged by his opponent at the tribunal, he had gone through about nine pre-election cases before his emergence as governor.

NAN recalls that the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal had, on Saturday, dismissed the petition filed against Abiodun’s victory in the March 9 election by the Allied Peoples Movement candidate, Adekunle Akinlade. Abiodun, while reacting to his victory at the tribunal, said, “I have gone through probably one of the most turbulent periods any governor could have gone through.“God has continued to remain God. This mandate is a divine one and I believe that it is obvious to all.

“This is the decision of the people of Ogun State which was further ratified by the tribunal,” he said. The governor reiterated his commitment to ensuring better life for the people, pledging that dividends of democracy would cut across all the nooks and crannies of the state.
