Ondo State Governor, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa has taken campaign flag off to the Northern Senatorial District of the State.

It would be recalled that two days ago, the Governor flagged of the campaign for the Central Senatorial District, in Ondo.

The flag off took place on Monday at Cenotaph, Ikare Akoko in Akoko North East local government area of Ondo State where he was received by his thousands supporters, dancing and chanting different songs.

The State Chairman of APC, Engr. Ade Adetimehin urged those who don’t have their voters’ card yet to ensure that they collect their PVC on the 17th of October form INEC office.

He assured the people of the Governor’s commitment to rural development, stressing that no stone will be left unturned in ensuring that the people at the grassroots enjoy the dividends of democracy.

The Speaker, Ondo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Olamide Oladiji said Aiyedatiwa is a worthy leader who will not lead the State astray. He urged the people to vote for Aiyedatiwa come November 16.

Senator representing Ondo North, Senator Jide Ipinsagba assured Governor Aiyedatiwa of total victory at the gubernatorial election, adding that the Northern Senatorial District will vote massively for him.

Also, the Deputy Governor, Dr. Olayide Adelami, who is also Aiyedatiwa’s running mate, while adressing the rally, stressed the importance of continuity in governance.

“Our state has witnessed remarkable development under Governor Aiyedatiwa’s leadership. But we must not stop here, we need to push forward for even greater accomplishments. The coming election is not just about electing a governor, it’s about safeguarding our future and the progress we have made”, Adelami said.

He called on the people to come out in large numbers and vote for the APC, saying, “I encourage every single one of you to vote, not just for the APC, but for the continued development of our state. Your vote will ensure we can build on the achievements of today and create a brighter tomorrow for our children.”

Hon. Abiola Makinde, the House of Representatives member for Ondo East/West federal constituency and the campaign’s Director-General, praised Governor Aiyedatiwa as a proven and reliable leader who is giving premium priority to polices and programmes that will enhance the development of the State.

Addressing his numerous supporters Governor Aiyedatiwa called on the people to rally behind the APC in the coming November 16 governorship election, emphasizing that the future of Ondo State depends on the continuity of the party’s developmental agenda.

The Governor expressed his gratitude to the people for their overwhelming support, which he attributed to the visible developmental strides his administration has made in less than one year in office.

He said: “The love and support you have shown me and our great party stem from the progress you have witnessed. You see the difference, and you want that progress to continue.

“In every sector of our society, the government has intervened. We owe no salaries to our workers; in fact, salaries are paid before or on the 25th of every month.

“We are recruiting more teachers for both primary and secondary schools because we understand that our children are the leaders of tomorrow, and they deserve a solid education.”

The Governor also mentioned the significant efforts his administration has made in constructing and renovating schools, as well as efforts made in security, health, agriculture and infrastructure.

“We are building roads, securing our communities, and making sure our farmers can thrive. This is the work we must continue.

“On November 16, I urge everyone gathered here and those who are not present to convert your support into votes for the APC to ensure the continuation of our significant progress in the state,” he added.

The Governor promised to dualise the road and construct an overhead bridge on it for pedestrians, stressing that the government had in the last few months considered various options before settling for the dualisation of the road and the overhead bridge.

According to him, the dualisation of the road will start from Ikare Akoko and run through the frontage of the main gate of the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko.

The Governor had earlier commissioned a Science Laboratory at Community Comprehensive High School, Akungba Akoko, assisted by Ondo State Cares (ODCARES).

He also commissioned a primary health care facility, in Akungba Akoko, both in Akoko Southwest local government area of Ondo State.

In attendance were: Senator Jide, members of Ondo State House of Assembly, led by the Speaker, APC leaders and party members, among others.
