Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi, has offered a prayer for Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa and the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the party began its local government campaign tour for next month’s governorship election.

Oba Aladetoyinbo, who received Governor Aiyedatiwa at his Palace, said the Ondo governor has respect for the traditional rulers and institutions in the state.

The Akure monarch said the Governor has been supporting the cause of the Akure kingdom and its people.

He said the governor deserved to be supported in realizing his dream of retaining the governor’s seat beyond 2025.

Oba Aladetoyinbo appealed to Governor Aiyedatiwa to sustain ongoing infrastructural projects, especially in road constructions and provisions of solar-powered street lights in Akure.

He said: “The governor is performing well, and he actually needs to be supported for his ambition. Here in Akure, we have been enjoying his support in areas of infrastructure.

“However, we plead that the governor should help us construct the internal roads in Akure and place premium on our market roads and Igbatoro road because that axis leads to Benin in Edo state and it will ease transportation.”

The Monarch urged his subjects to ensure they troop out on Election Day to cast their votes without any fear.

On his part, Governor Aiyedatiwa promised not to relent on infrastructural development across the state.

“You can see what I have been doing since I assumed office, so I promise you, that I won’t relent in the infrastructural projects. The solar power will continue. We have completed phase one, we will continue phase two

“In phase two we would ensure that there are solar lights in our markets so that our market women would be able to continue their trading till the evening time.”

Governor Aiyedatiwa also took campaigns to other wards in Akure South Local Government.

Ondo State Governor, Mr. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has said his administration will pay N73,000 as minimum wage.

Aiyedatiwa assured workers in the state of his commitment to their welfare.

Addressing a large crowd of supporters, Governor Aiyedatiwa urged them to vote for the APC to ensure the continuity of developmental initiatives across the state.

He said he was confident that the people want his administration to continue beyond 2024.

The Ondo governor said he would enhance security and youth empowerment.

“I see the love and appreciation from you, and I do not take it for granted. The best way to demonstrate this love is to vote for continuity, which will bring even more dividends of democracy.

“During my time in office, we have initiated several important projects, including those started by the late governor. In agriculture, we’ve taken significant strides, boosting food production across the state. We’ve also approved over a billion naira for land clearing and launched various rural road construction projects to facilitate our farmers’ activities and improve productivity in rural areas.”

Ondo APC Chairman, Engr. Ade Adetimehin, said the APC remained committed to infrastructural development across the state and reminded party members of the importance of safeguarding their voter cards.
