Governor of Ondo State, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa has announced that the official flag-off of his gubernatorial campaign will take place on Saturday at the Ondo City Hall in the Central Senatorial District.
Speaking at the third APC Stakeholders meeting held at The Dome, Akure, on Thursday, the Governor emphasized that the party’s strength lies in collective efforts and urged members to intensify grassroots mobilization.
Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor reports that Governor Aiyedatiwa also called for unity and renewed commitment from members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the election.
The Governor then inaugurated the APC State Campaign Council, with a member of the House of Representatives, representing Ondo East/Ondo West federal constituency, Hon. Abiola Makinde, as the Director General of the campaign.
Addressing the packed venue, Governor Aiyedatiwa expressed his joy at the overwhelming turnout, noting that it was a testament to the commitment party members have towards the success of APC in the coming election.
Reflecting on past stakeholder engagements, the Governor reminded attendees that he had promised inclusiveness in his administration.
“This is the third stakeholders’ meeting, and it’s clear that we’ve upheld our promise of inclusivity as a party and as a government,” he said.
Governor Aiyedatiwa stressed that it is the party, not just him, that is heading into the election. He emphasized that the election victory would require the collective strength of every party member.
“We cannot afford to be complacent; this is the time to redouble our efforts and ensure we deliver victory for the party,” Governor Aiyedatiwa said.
He called on party faithful to return to their units, wards amd local government areas and mobilize voters, particularly those who may feel marginalized.
In his acceptance speech, Hon. Makinde assured the gathering that he is fully committed to delivering victory for the APC in the election.
“I promise that Ondo State will remain in the hands of APC,” he said confidently, pledging to lead a successful campaign that would consolidate the party’s hold on the state.
Earlier in his welcome address, the State APC Chairman, Engr. Ade Adetimehin, reinforced the governor’s message, reminding party members that APC remains one big family despite differing opinions.
He urged members to prioritize the party’s success above personal interests. “Ondo is a progressive state, and we will continue to be progressive as long as we stand united,” Adetimehin said, encouraging all to stay focused on the party’s goals.
