..rallies Ondo voters for Tinubu, APC candidates ahead of 2027 polls

Ondo State Governor, Dr Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, has expressed appreciation to residents of the state for their massive turnout at the campaign rally organised in support of President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid ahead of the 2027 general election.

The governor also urged eligible voters in the state to turn out en masse on election day and vote for Tinubu and all candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Aiyedatiwa made the call in a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Hon. Idowu Ajanaku, in which he commended the people for their show of solidarity and commitment during the campaign rally.

He appreciated Vice President Kashim Shettima, members of the Federal Executive Council, APC national and state leaders, party stakeholders, members and supporters, as well as residents across the state for participating in the event.

The governor applauded the peaceful conduct and orderly behaviour of participants, describing the atmosphere as “a reflection of the political awareness, unity and democratic spirit of the people of Ondo State.”

He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to sustaining an environment of peace and political tolerance in the state.
As the country approaches the 2027 general election, Aiyedatiwa urged eligible voters who were yet to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to do so without delay, stressing that “possession of a valid PVC remains essential for exercising their constitutional right to vote.”

He also encouraged eligible citizens to participate actively in the electoral process.

The governor called on residents to “turn out en masse on election day and vote for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term, and all candidates of the All Progressives Congress from top to bottom.”

He said the continuation of the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda would help consolidate the dividends of democracy being experienced across the country.

Citing some ongoing infrastructure projects, Aiyedatiwa highlighted the 71-kilometre Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road, Ore-Ondo Road, Akure-Benin Road, Akure-Owo Road and Ilesa-Akure Road as notable interventions expected to improve connectivity and stimulate economic activities.

According to him, the projects “are expected to improve connectivity, boost economic activities and enhance the quality of life of the people.”

The governor reiterated the state government’s appreciation to all stakeholders and supporters for their solidarity and cooperation, urging residents to “remain peaceful, law-abiding and committed to the democratic process.”

He expressed confidence that sustained support for President Tinubu would further strengthen ongoing developmental efforts and create greater opportunities for Ondo State and Nigeria.
