The All Progressives Congress in the state of Osun has described its victory at last Saturday council polls as a massive triumph for the people and the state of Osun, and one big step forward for the popular desire of Nigerians to revert to parliamentary democracy.
In a statement from the Directorate of Publicity, Research and Strategy, signed by its Director, Kunle Oyatomi and made available to the media in Osogbo, the party congratulated the people for the emphatic statement they got across to the haters of progress in Osun that “the people know what they want and they will not allow themselves to be deceived by the shenanigans of the opposition.
According to the party, “beyond the electoral victory, is the political step forward into the less expensive parliamentary democracy, which will now start in Osun local government setting for the first time in 52 years since our parliamentary democracy was abruptly halted by the military interregnum in 1966.
“When the import of this election will be addressed in the history books in the future, the state of Osun will be celebrated as a catalyst for the return of parliamentary democracy if not in Nigeria, certainly in Yorubaland.
“Those who objected to the development met their waterloo in the court and owing to their obsession for retaining the presidential system; they shot themselves in the foot, anticipating victory at the court by not registering to participate in the election. They miscalculated so badly that it turned out a double tragedy for them.
“And as God would have it against the PDP and its co-travelers, their double tragedy translated into double massive victory for the APC and the people of Osun”, the party and the entire populace celebrated.
The APC therefore thanked the people for their support, loyalty and appreciation of all the good things that Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola-led government and the party have done to bring the state from the doldrums in which the PDP left it, to the pacesetter state it is now.
“Whatever the opposition parties are saying about the election, is symptomatic of ‘the grapes are sour’ mentality.
“Those who love to hate will ultimately hate themselves in failure and deceit.
“That is the fate of the PDP and its opposition partners”, the Party concluded.
