The Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the Governor on Social Investment, Hon. Barr. Felix Alonge, has congratulated Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, the Governor of Ondo State, on his victory in Saturday’s governorship election.

Governor Aiyedatiwa, who was the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 16, 2024 election, was declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) shortly after the conclusion of the collation of results on Sunday.

Hon. Barr. Alonge described the electoral triumph of Governor Aiyedatiwa as an endorsement of good governance under the APC administration in Ondo State, as well as a vote of confidence in the leadership of the Aiyedatiwa-led administration in the state.

The Senior Special Assistant expressed gratitude to the people of Ondo State for maintaining their trust in the ruling party, the APC, based on verifiable indices of good governance since the party came to power.

Alonge pointed out that the victory recorded by Governor Aiyedatiwa and the APC has placed a fresh challenge on the Ondo Governor to do more for the people of the state, who defied the odds to grant him a fresh mandate.

He maintained that the electoral victory shows that the people of Ondo State appreciate the leadership of Aiyedatiwa and have unwavering confidence that the current socio-economic policies and programs of the government would yield the desired results, leading to irreversible progress, development, and economic prosperity for all in the state.

Alonge commended the National Chairman of the APC, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje; the Progressive Governors’ Forum; the party’s National Campaign Council; National Assembly members; elected and appointed political officeholders; and the entire party faithful for their hard work, which contributed to the electoral success.

Hon. Barr. Alonge also hailed the people of Ondo State for conducting themselves in a peaceful and orderly manner, which resulted in the overall success of the governorship poll across the length and breadth of the state.

The Senior Special Assistant also appreciated the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the improvements recorded in the Ondo poll, especially in the prompt release of results from the polling units and the collation exercise.
