Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, alongside his Deputy, Dr. Olayide Adelami, received an electrifying reception as they arrived in Ondo West Local Government on their campaign tour.
Thousands of enthusiastic supporters gathered to celebrate the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidates with chants, dances, and acrobatics throughout the community.
The visit featured three major events: a rally, a visit to the Osemawe and Paramount Ruler of Ondo Kingdom, Oba Dr. Victor Ademefun Adesimbo Kiladejo Jilo III, and the inauguration of an ultra-modern public motor park.
The motor park is a constituency project by Hon. Abiola Makinde, the lawmaker representing Ondo East/West federal constituency and the Director-General of the Ondo State Governor Lucky Ayedatiwa Campaign Organisation.
During the visit to the palace, Oba Kiladejo praised Governor Aiyedatiwa’s exemplary leadership and reaffirmed the confidence of the Ondo Kingdom in his continued vision to drive development across the state. The Osemawe assured Aiyedatiwa of his and his people’s support, encouraging the Governor to sustain his progressive initiatives.
Expressing gratitude for the warm reception, Governor Aiyedatiwa pledged never to take the support of the Ondo Kingdom for granted. He highlighted his administration’s commitment to transforming Ondo West and called on the people to mobilize and cast their votes in his favor on November 16. The Governor outlined plans to prioritize Ondo West in future infrastructural projects, urging residents to back his vision with their votes.
The event was attended by prominent party leaders and stakeholders across the state and local government. Notable attendees included the Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Olamide Oladiji Landmark; APC Ondo State Party Chairman, Ade Adetimehin; Ondo Central Senator, Hon. Adeniyi Adegbomire, SAN; former House of Representatives member, Hon.
