Projects Initiated By Previous Administration In Ondo Receiving Attention – APC

By Ayodele Oni

The All Progressives Congress, (APC) Ondo State Chapter, has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is just seeking attention with its remark accusing Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of abandoning projects inherited by his administration.

APC stated that “It is apparent that the PDP is resorting to a desperate attempt to regain relevance by fabricating claims that lack any basis in fact.

“Since the victorious governorship election won by our party, the PDP has emerged as a vocal antagonist, seemingly more interested in creating discord than offering constructive criticism.”

In a statement signed by Steve Otaloro, Director, Media & Publicity APC, Ondo State claimed that “Firstly, we would like to emphasize that all projects initiated under the previous administration of Oluwarotimi Akeredolu are receiving the attention they deserve.

“Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa views the past administration as an extension of his own, as he served as Deputy Governor during that time.

“It is, therefore, nonsensical for the PDP to suggest that Governor Aiyedatiwa would undermine the legacy he helped build by neglecting ongoing projects.

“In fact, Governor Aiyedatiwa has recently commissioned several road projects and infrastructure developments, including the Oda road and its extensions, which were foundationally laid by the late Governor Akeredolu.

“These actions reflect our commitment to continuity and progress, rather than the abandonment of vital projects.

“It is ironic that the PDP, a party that sought to overturn the people’s mandate granted to Governor Aiyedatiwa during the November 16, 2024 governorship election but dismissed at the tribunal, now resorts to a campaign of disinformation.

“Their attempts to discredit the governor through baseless propaganda are not only misguided but also reflect their own internal struggles and declining relevance.

“We encourage the PDP to focus on addressing the challenges within their party, which has seen significant defections, including that of sitting governors, rather than concocting lies to mislead the public.

“It is time for them to engage in meaningful dialogue and contribute positively to the development of Ondo State.

“The APC stands firm in its commitment to the people of Ondo State and will continue to prioritize the completion of all projects that benefit our citizens. We urge the PDP to abandon their divisive tactics and join us in working towards a brighter future for all.”
