Lagos –\u00a0 Lagos State governorship candidate of the National Conscience Party (NCP) in the April 26 elections, Mr Ayodele Akele on Friday congratulated Gov. Babatunde Fashola on his victory at the polls.<\/p>\n

Akele, who had earlier said that Fashola\u2019s re-election was manipulated by the Action Congress Nigeria (ACN), described the victory as \u201ca well-fought battle\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe election was largely monetized by the ACN which is not good for our democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always said that the ACN cannot win election in Lagos if they do not bribe the people,\u2019\u2019 Akele had told NAN shortly after Fashola was declared winner on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

But in his congratulatory message on Friday, Akele said the election would not have been interesting and remarkable without the opposition\u2019s participation and pledged his support for Fashola toward a better Lagos.<\/p>\n

He urged Fashola to restrict LASTMA officials to ensuring free flow of traffic rather turn themselves to policemen who detained and harassed motorists over flimsy offences.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Lagos to see a remarkable change in the next four years, Fashola must guarantee that LASTMA is essentially to ensure free flow of traffic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has no right to detain and arrest Lagosians,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Odebudayo Bami, Lagos State chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), also congratulated Fashola, saying that the election was transparent and credible.<\/p>\n

\u201cFashola fought a good fight and that is why we are not thinking of going to court for redress.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur party has no problem with the results as released by INEC because the election was free and fair.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that elections in Nigeria are becoming free and fair and peoples\u2019 votes now count, our party will try again,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

In his reaction, Prince Olayokun Adeshina, Lagos State chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), noted that the election was free and fair, hence, the party had no reason to go to court.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe just concluded gubernatorial election was free and fair without rancor or any problem and my party has no plan to go to court,\u2019\u2019 he stressed. (NAN)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
