Ondo State Information Commissioner, Wale Akinlosotu, has said that events at the ongoing campaign rallies to canvass votes in the November 16 governorship election in the state affirm the popularity of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s candidacy.
Akinlosotu said that the rousing receptions for the governor, who is All Progressives Congress candidate in the election, at the places and campaign rallies and as well the defection of a number of leaders and members of opposition parties to the governing APC were clear signals of rejection of the opposition parties by the people.
The APC/Aiyedatiwa campaign trains which berthed at the three senatorial districts between October 12th and 16th, are at present at the local governments with the campaigns expected to be rounded off with a grand finale in Akure on November 13th.
The commissioner said, “What we are seeing at the rallies are indications that Governor Aiyedatiwa’s programmes, policies and projects resonate with the people hence the resolve to see him continue in office for another term of four years”.
Akinlosotu said, “Beyond his achievements in office in the last nine and half months, Governor Aiyedatiwa’s transparency, passion for all round development and inclusive governance style have continued to endear him to the people thus daily growing his popularity and supporters’ base across the 18 local government areas.
“The people of Ondo State know that the governor is a promise keeper and a man who values his words as bonds, hence they are coming to him to learn of his unrivalled election promises which they are sure would be fulfilled for the benefit of the state and its people.
“Among such promises which are crucial to the people’s support and commitment to his reelection are the assurance to workers that the era of salary delay and percentage is gone in Ondo State, the promised dualisation of Akungba Akoko Road and overhead bridge to the delight of the community and students and as well better infrastructures for the riverina areas.
“The people are using the opportunity of the campaigns to show him appreciation for their roads, improved electricity situation, rural programmes, huge agricultural and food security investments, education interventions, health programmes and as well environmental and housing projects.
“Workers, pensioners, youths, and the private sector operators are rallying behind the governor for continuity and as well new grounds in investments in their welfare and development needs.
“The people of Ondo State can see that Governor Aiyedatiwa is the leader with transformative ideas and ideals who need to continue in the office beyond 2025 for sustainable development in the state. This, they are ready to realize with their votes for Aiyedatiwa of the APC on November 16, “Akinlosotu said.
Recall that the campaign rallies saw APC chieftains who contested the governorship primaries against Aiyedatiwa and their supporters, including Chief Olusola Oke, Hon. Isaacs Kekemeke, Hon. Wale Akinterinwa, Chief Mrs Oladunni Odu, Rt Hon. Mayowa Akinfolarin, and Hon. Odimayo openly campaign for the governor with pledges to deliver for him at the poll.
