- Adegoroye hosts Gov's campaign team in Akure
- Deji, other traditional rulers pray for Governor’s emergence
The Ondo State Governor, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, on
Tuesday, continued his tour across the 18 local government areas to engage with
stakeholders in preparation for the gubernatorial primary of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, scheduled for Saturday.
The campaign train of the Governor moved to Ese Odo, Irele,
and Akure South Local Government areas where he received an enthusiastic and
rousing welcome by the people.
Commencing at Igbekebo, the headquarters of Ese-Odo, party leaders
and supporters unanimously voiced their support for Governor Aiyedatiwa as the
APC's gubernatorial candidate.
Addressing the crowd of party loyalists, the Governor said: "It has been collectively decided by our party leaders that I should continue serving as the governor of Ondo state beyond 2025. This decision mirrors the desires and aspirations of our esteemed party leaders. However, it's imperative to acknowledge the electoral process that lies ahead.
“On Saturday, let us unite in our respective wards to
translate this aspiration into reality. Unlike the main election scheduled for
November, this time, instead of using our thumbs, we will convene in our wards
and rally behind our choice.
"I express my profound gratitude for your unwavering
support and dedication. Together, I am confident we will emerge triumphant come
Saturday."
In Irele local government as well, Governor Aiyedatiwa
expressed immense appreciation for the remarkable support from party members.
He encouraged them to vote for him on Saturday.
Earlier, the Governor had paid a visit to Oba Prof. Sunday
Amusehan, Kalasuwe of Apoi Land, the Odogbo of Omi, Oba Olorunsola Akinyelure
and the Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Ogunlade Aladelusi and the Councils of
Obas in each of the three local government areas.
During these visits, he expressed gratitude to the Obas for
their endorsement and pledged to sustain the state’s developmental programs.
The Governor also received royal blessings and prayers during these
interactions.
The Deji of Akure and Chairman of the Ondo State Council of
Obas, Oba Aladetoyinbo Ogunlade Aladelusi, commended the governor for his
commitment to the welfare of the traditional institution in the state.
He voiced confidence in Governor Aiyedatiwa's victory on
Saturday and, on behalf of all the chiefs in Akure kingdom, the king pledged
their unwavering support for the Governor.
Addressing the party faithful at Democracy Park in Akure,
Governor Aiyedatiwa conveyed his delight at the large turnout for the event.
The Governor thanked the supporters from all wards, saying
that with such overwhelming support from Akure South, victory is within reach.
After the Akure South rally, the campaign team of the Governor
was treated to a reception at the residence of former Minister of State for
Transportation, Prince Ademola Adegoroye, who said the entire Akure community
has decided to support Governor Aiyedatiwa.
