By Ayodele Oni

A group of former political appointees under the Ondo State Patriotic Movement for Democracy (ODSPMD) has resolved to work with the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa in the November 16 gubernatorial election in the State.

The group which membership cuts across the 18 Local Government Areas of the state promised to mobilize support for Governor Aiyedatiwa at the grassroots.

Speaking in Akure, Conveners and Secretary General of the group, Ariyo Arije, Alabi Julius and Princess Akinrimade Patient Àdùnní, said they know that the governor will turn the state around within a short time if elected

“We are former political appointees, opinion moulders and Grassroot mobilizers. We came to conclusion that none of the candidates from other political parties can stop Aiyedatiwa from being the next governor of the state.

“It is our desire that the revolution currently ongoing in education, health, agriculture, youth and women empowerment as well as infrastructure will continue if Governor Aiyedatiwa is given more chance to rule the state.

“We are for consolidation. We are for continuity and we are for a united and prosperous Ondo State.

“We hereby unanimously declare our support for Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress and our members resolved to work to deliver him resoundingly on November 16, 2024.

“We have no doubt that we will celebrate our victory and the future of our dear state will be guaranteed.”

The group commended the governor for picking a former Speaker of the state assembly, Victor Olabimtan as his Campaign Director General saying with the choice, the opposition parties in the state have no breathing space.
