By Ayodele Oni

The Ondo State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Olukayode Ajulo, SAN, has observed that the forthcoming governorship election in Ondo state will serve as an opportunity for the people to reaffirm their trust in the incumbent Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

Ajulo, who spoke in Akure was of the view that “the situation in Ondo State is a simple issue of “res ipsa loquitor,” the matter speaks for itself as the direction of this election is clear- it’s a walkover because there’s truly no contest.

“This election, to me, is more of a reaffirmation of the people’s trust in the incumbent administration. Even Governor Aiyedatiwa’s opponents recognize this.

“The Governor has consistently shown both vision and competence, establishing himself as a dependable leader for the people of Ondo State. Have you noticed the absence of any desperation or intimidation toward political alliances across the state?

“During the opening of the new legal year, I mentioned that the Governor has instructed his team to ensure a level playing field for all participants in this election.

“Our priority is to safeguard the will of the people through transparent and responsible governance. Imagine a governor, in the middle of an election, prioritizing peace and stability when others in his position might turn their states upside down. It speaks volumes about his character and commitment.”

The Attorney General commended security agencies in the state for their dedication to peace.

“I’d also like to take this opportunity to commend our security agencies- the police, civil defence, Amotekun, and others, for their dedication into maintaining peace and order throughout the State.

“It’s crucial to highlight this because, unlike in the past when certain parties would flood the media with claims of suppression, this time, there’s none of that.

“Governor Aiyedatiwa’s peace-oriented approach is evident. The calm across the state is proof- no tensions, no disturbances, a stark contrast to what we used to experience.

“This is a civil service-oriented-state. Go out and ask the workers about their salaries- what was once a delayed payment system has now transformed into consistent, timely payments, often made before the month’s end.

“Governor Aiyedatiwa is steadfast in his commitment to governance, peace, unity, and the continuous development of Ondo State. The people see a trustworthy leader in him—tested, proven, and a true promise-keeper.”
