Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa
Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has urged members of the state’s chapter of the All Progressives Congress not to become complacent in the upcoming local government election.
The Ondo State Independent Electoral Commission has scheduled January 18, 2025, for the conduct of the council election.
Aiyedatiwa gave the charge while addressing the chairmanship, vice-chairmanship, and councillorship candidates of the APC across the 18 local governments on Friday in Akure, the state capital.
He emphasised the importance of consolidating the successes recorded during the last governorship election and urged the candidates to work towards victory in the forthcoming poll.
He said, “We have set a strong foundation as a party, and it is now up to us to build on it. This election is not just about winning but proving that our party remains the leading voice of the people. I assure you of my unwavering support as we head to the polls, but I urge you to avoid overconfidence. Let us remain focused and strategic in our approach.
“Show commitment to our party and the people. Our citizens are watching. They want leaders who will not only represent them well but also deliver on their promises. Prove your capacity and capability to make a difference at the grassroots level.”
Earlier in his address, the state APC Chairman, Ade Adetimehin, congratulated the candidates on their emergence and reminded them of the heavy responsibility ahead.
Adetimehin further urged the candidates to intensify their campaigns at the grassroots level to promote the party’s agenda of good governance.
“This is a defining moment for all of you. You carry the trust and hopes of the party and the people. Do not disappoint us. Be good ambassadors of the APC, and above all, do not betray the trust reposed in you,” the governor advised.
