• Excited volunteers assure APC Campaign Chairman of victoryThe Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Campaign Council for Ondo State Governorship Election and Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu and some of his colleagues, members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) and Campaign Council on Saturday night were at the party’s situation room in Akure, the capital of Ondo State to monitor the results trickling in from INEC.
Excited volunteers and party faithful assured the visiting party leaders of a landslide victory by APC and its candidate, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
They commended Governor Sanwo-Olu and other APC chieftains for leading the ruling party to victory.
With Governor Sanwo-Olu at the Situation Room are the APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje; Chairman, Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) and Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazak, Chairman, Progressives Governors Forum and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma; Chairman, Southern Governors Forum and Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun and Governors Biodun Oyebanji (Ekiti) Babagana Zulum (Borno) and Hyancinth Alia (Benue), Bassey Otu (Cross River), among other top leaders.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, who is the Chairman of South-West Governors Forum, thanked the party faithful and volunteers, assuring them that their labour would not be in vain as Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, when declared officially by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), would continue the party’s agenda of economic and infrastructural growth in Ondo State.
Governor Aiyedatiwa, based on the results of 13 local government areas announced so far by INEC is leading with a wide margin having defeated his main opponent, Ajayi Agboola of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in all the local government areas.
It would be recalled that Vice President Kashim Shettima, Governor Sanwo-Olu, and other party leaders during the APC mega rally held on Wednesday at the MKO Abiola Democracy Park, Akure, urged party leaders and electorates to deliver the entire 18 councils in Ondo for Aiyedatiwa during the Saturday gubernatorial poll.
They said their expectation from the electorates is for the party’s governorship candidate and incumbent Governor, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, to win the entire 18 local government areas in the State with a wide margin.
