Kinsmen of the late former governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, in Owo Local Government have committed to securing a significant voter turnout for Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa in the upcoming November elections.
This commitment was made by All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders during a stakeholders’ meeting hosted by the state’s Deputy Governor, Olayide Adelami.
At the meeting, Owo APC Chairman Samuel Balogun praised Governor Aiyedatiwa’s performance, highlighting his successful programs and initiatives focused on the people. “I am assuring the Deputy Governor that Owo will score massive votes for the APC in the coming governorship election. The reason is not far-fetched. The Governor and his Deputy are good people, and with the cooperation of leaders and members of the party, we will achieve success in the forthcoming election. Governor Aiyedatiwa has made the work easy for us with his laudable programs and people-centered initiatives. With a working governor like Aiyedatiwa, all we need to do is to go out there to remind our people of what he has done and let them know what he plans to do going forward,” Balogun stated.
Thompson Akinrinbola, Chairman of the APC Council of Elders in Owo, also called on all aggrieved members to reconcile and unite for the success of the Aiyedatiwa/Adelami ticket. He emphasized the importance of solidarity within the party to ensure victory in the upcoming election.
Deputy Governor Adelami reassured APC supporters of Governor Aiyedatiwa’s commitment to the people of Ondo State, highlighting his capability to drive positive change. “The governor has the experience and intellectual capacity to make life easy for our people. I am confident in his abilities to turn this state around, which he has demonstrated in the last six months in office. This is not the time to start experimenting with people who have no good record of public service. We can’t afford to leave a working governor for untested people,” he said.
Adelami also announced plans for future meetings across the Ondo North Senatorial District to foster unity and consolidate support for the Aiyedatiwa/Adelami ticket. “This meeting will not end here. The next one will be in Ose Local Government, and we will move to Akoko from there to ensure that the entire Ondo North senatorial district speaks with one voice,” he added.
