Reno who gave the congratulatory message yesterday however urged members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party to learn from the outcome of the elections.

“I congratulate Rotimi Akeredolu on his victory at the November 26th Ondo gubernatorial elections. If either Eyitayo Jegede or Rotimi Akeredolu had won, a lawyer would have won. As a lawyer, I win both ways! 

In any contest, there must be a winner, but it is not necessary that there must be a loser. If you learn from defeat have you really lost? I urge the PDP to learn from this!

To those who have expressed anger about the election results, my counsel is this-Do not whine when you lose. Instead learn why you lost and tomorrow, while other losers are whining, you will be winning!

I call on the Governor elect, Mr. Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, to shun all those who have asked him to steer clear of Governor Olusegun Mimiko and Mr. Eyitayo Jegede. The best way to extinguish your enemies is by making them your friends.

Mr. Akeredolu can afford to be magnanimous in victory and he should go for it. It will cost him little but gain him a lot. If he must drive the car he has just won to its destination he needs to focus on the windshield rather than keep looking over his back in which case he may have a crash.

And to the Independent National Electoral Commission that allowed itself to be used, as Jimoh Ibrahim confessed on video, what I will say is that they have not sown discord in Ondo. They have only sown it for the man who sent them on that errand and he will surely reap what he has sown when and if he intends to marry again.”
