In a statement in Ado-Ekiti by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, the governor said the senators had shown that national interests must be placed above party and parochial interests.
He also used the statement to say that the efforts of the All Progressive Party (APC) to use the Ekiti rigging tape scandal to discredit Obanikoro has been futile.
“The senators have shown the whole world that for our nation to progress, we must not allow ourselves to be misled by sentiments. The APC goons who are engaged in needless propaganda about a none issue of a audio tape have been put to shame.

“The matter is in court, nobody has been indicted and yet some people are bent on sabotaging the chances of a former member of the Senate, who had been previously screened and cleared by them in the past.
“I rejoice with Senator Obanikoro for in the end, the truth has prevailed over sheer propaganda and I wish him the best in his service to our fatherland,” the statement in part reads.
Meanwhile, a Senator of the representing Ekiti Central District from Ekiti Central on the platform of the country’s major opposition party, APC, Ojudu Babafemi has said that senators under the APC were not in favour of Obanikoro’s appointment.
