Engr. Mebinone Asogbon, Convener of Mebinone Support Group For Aiyedatiwa, says Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s victory in the Nov.16 governorship election would bring more development to Ondo State.

Asogbon, who made this known while speaking with newsmen on Tuesday in Akure, said that Aiyedatiwa had shown evidence of good governance since he became the governor of the state.

According to the convener, Aiyedatiwa knows where the shoe pinches the people, so his victory is for the people in respect of their political parties

“Aiyedatiwa was supported by all including Civil Society Organisation, different groups and many others due to his loyalty and readiness to provide good governance.

“Mr governor’s victory is topnotch and reflects the happiness and joy of his people because he has been in governance for a while and he knows where his people are lacking.

“In terms of security, he has been supporting Amotekun for the betterment of the people to work freely without fear.

“And for those of us in diaspora, whenever we come home we will be able to move around freely.

“I’m not surprised that he won the election because Aiyedatiwa has been doing great since he was sworn in as a governor after the demise of his boss, Rotimi Akeredolu.

“All the abandoned projects have been re-awarded in the state and he is a people’s governor who is loved by all.

“So It gives me courage and evidence that his governance will bring more development and infrastructure to the people of Ondo State,” Asogbon said.

He, therefore, called on the people of the state to continue supporting Aiyedatiwa’s administration to bring more dividends of democracy to the people.

Asogbon also said that Aiyedatiwa’s loyalty as a deputy governor to his former boss, Gov. Rotimi Akeredolu, prompted him to support and campaign for him.

According to the convener, Aiyedatiwa deserves the victory because it is rare to see a boss adopt his deputy openly as his successor.
