“I send my appreciation through this medium to Osun voters who find me worthy of their votes. Your votes humbled me and further strengthen my resolve to truly serve our people,” he said in a statement he issued.
He said he was grateful that despite all the blackmails and persecution, the people stood by him, voted and defended their votes.
“You adopted me as the rallying point of the redemption movement. Words cannot express the depth of my appreciation,” he said.
He assured the people that they would get to the Promised Land.
He said the journey had started well and it would end in praise to God.
He however, charged the people to rededicate themselves to the struggle.
“You have proved that with determination, the most powerful tyrant can be forced to submit to the will of the people. I appreciate you all,” he added.
