The Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, party leaders and members for their contributions to the success of the presidential campaign rally held in Akure on Wednesday.

The party described the rally as a huge success, particularly in terms of attendance and the orderly conduct of party faithful drawn from the 18 local government areas of the state.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the State Publicity Secretary of the party, Otunba Kayode Adeyeluwa, attributed a significant part of the success to Governor Aiyedatiwa, whom he said provided the necessary encouragement and logistics for the event.
According to the statement, the governor raised the initial attendance target and urged stakeholders to mobilise at least 20,000 people for the rally.

The party said it could not appreciate the governor enough for his support and provision of the necessary logistics to ensure the successful execution of the plans for the event.

It also acknowledged the contributions of the Ministers of State, Taiwo Oyedele, Bunmi Tunji-Ojo and Ayo Olawande; former Governor Olusegun Mimiko; and other party leaders and stakeholders.

The APC further expressed satisfaction that the event recorded no negative incidents capable of undermining its success, noting that attendees returned home safely without any mishaps.

While urging party leaders and members to sustain the mobilisation ahead of the forthcoming elections, the party called on residents to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and participate in the electoral process.

It said Nigeria needed a courageous and visionary leader like President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to rewrite the country’s economic history.

“Our duty is to continue to encourage our people to collect their voters’ cards and mobilise for the re-election of a performing President and all candidates of the APC,” the statement added.
