The candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the Ondo State governorship election, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has called on the people to vote for the ruling party, boasting that no other party practically existed in the state.
Specifically, the APC candidate said the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, had died in the state as, according to him, all the bigwigs of the party in the state had crossed to the APC.
He stated this in Igboibini, in the Ese Odo Local Government Area of the state during his campaign on Wednesday.
According to Aiyedatiwa, his achievements as governor in the past months had attracted many members of the opposition to join the APC.
He said, “I want to thank you for your patience, as we gathered here today. I salute your love, unity, and support for us and the party. I’ll reciprocate this gesture after the election.
“No doubt, we have initiated many projects, and we will do more. Our roads, schools, and hospitals are receiving attention. We have also ensured there is security in the state. We are also employing more teachers in the school. So, come November 16, you must troop out en masse and vote for our party (APC) in the election.
Your vote is your power, don’t waste your votes on parties that have no clear plan for Ondo State. I want you to use our vote to chase away other political parties.
As you know, all the gladiators in the PDP are now with us. We have torn the umbrella of the main opposition party into shreds. In this coming election, your vote must be for the APC.”
In his remarks, the monarch of the Bolowo community, Oba George Jemine, commended the governor for his developmental projects across the state.
He, however, urged Aiyedatiwa to focus more on the education and healthcare sectors.
“We need the renovation of our public schools to ensure our children learn in a conducive environment. The approval of additional secondary schools is crucial, as many of our children currently have to travel far to go to school,” he demanded.
