It comes after the party said the vote of Osun was “once again manipulated.”
“Over the past four months, I have worked with committed people who have given time and resources to our shared agenda for restoration,” he said in a statement on Sunday.
SDP scored a total 128,049 votes, third behind PDP and APC.
“I am confident that while we might appear to have lost an election, we have won the greater victory; the clarion call by all our people for good governance and accountability.
“We have positively impacted on electoral campaigns and elections in Osun state promoting inclusion, people centeredness and shied completely away from vote buying, voter intimidation and thuggery.
“We shall continue in our demand for good governance, accountability and human dignity.
“My commitment to this remains total without any prejudice to the next steps we collectively workout.
“Our people’s votes have again been manipulated through vote buying, and exploitation of the hunger in our land. Only good governance and committed leadership can drive out this hunger. The quest for this continues.”
