Kinsmen of late former governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Owo local government have pledged to work in unison to secure maximum votes for Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa in the November polls.
They used all aggrieved members to mend fences and work together for the success of the Aiyedatiwa/Adelami ticket.
The Owo APC leaders pledged stakeholders hosted by Ondo state deputy governor, Dr Olayide Adelami.
Chairman of the APC Council of Elders in Owo, Chief Thompson Akinrinbola, said the APC would repeat its 2020 feat in Owo local government by defeating opposition parties by a wide margin.
The Owo APC chairman, Samuel Balogun, said the performance of Governor Aiyedatiwa would make the campaign easy.
He said: “I am assuring the Deputy Governor that Owo will score massive votes for the APC in the coming governorship election. The reason is not far-fetched. The Governor and his Deputy are good people, and with the cooperation of leaders and members of the party, we will achieve success in the forthcoming election.
“Governor Aiyedatiwa has made the work easy for us with his laudable programmes and people-centered initiatives. With a working governor like Aiyedatiwa, all we need to do is to go out there to remind our people of what he has done and let them know what he plans to do going forward.”
The deputy governor assured that Aiyedatiwa would not let the people down.
“The governor has the experience and intellectual capacity to make life easy for our people. I am confident in his abilities to turn this state around, which he has demonstrated in the last six months in office.
“This is not the time to start experimenting with people who have no good record of public service. We can’t afford to leave a working governor for untested people.
“This meeting will not end here. The next one will be in Ose local government, and we will move to Akoko from there to ensure that the entire Ondo North senatorial district speaks with one voice” the deputy governor submitted.
Leaders at the meeting included Senator Remi Okunrinboye, Chief Olugbenga Ale, Princess Olufunmilayo Brown, Dr Adeyemi Olayemi, Engr Mukaila Musa, Alhaji Jimoh Dojumo amongst others.
