Williams, in a congratulatory message on Thursday, said the judgement delivered by the court of appeal affirms that, the rule of law is meant to protect the will of the party members.
“By this judgement, the appellate court clearly shows that Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo and Comr Joel Oyibo are the Governor/Deputy Governorship candidates who the party members chose to fly the APC ticket and consequently win by God grace to pilot the affairs of the state for the next four years.
“The confidence the people of Kogi State repose in Governor Alhaji Yahaya Bello lead administration has been well earned and should be wholly respected.
“It is time to now place partisan politics within the party on the shelf for the moment so that those former Governorship contestants can join hands as much as possible for the victory of the party in the November 11th poll in Kogi State.
“Once again, I rejoice with Alhaji Usman Ahmed Ododo, Comr Joel Oyibo, the leadership of the APC, our teeming APC members in Kogi and, indeed, the good people of the state over this court victory.”
