Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has pleaded with residents of the state to remain calm in the wake of calls for the cancellation of the presidential election results by the members of the opposition parties.
The governor, in a statement issued on Tuesday by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde, asked the residents not to succumb to the agitations of the opposition.
“We understand that some political parties are agitated but there is no reason for our people to succumb to agitations. I urge you all to remain calm,” the governor said in the statement.
Akeredolu noted that the issues would be resolved among parties while asking the residents not to entertain fear but go about their normal daily activities.
