Senator Kashim Shettima, the Vice President, has appealed to the people of Ondo State to support the re-election of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
He assured the voters that President Bola Tinubu stands firmly behind the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate.
Shettima made this appeal during an APC campaign rally for Aiyedatiwa and his running mate, Olayide Adelami, held at the MKO Abiola Democracy Park in Akure, Ondo State, on Wednesday.
He expressed confidence that Aiyedatiwa and Adelami would usher in hope, prosperity, and unity, ensuring that the Sunshine State continues to thrive.
“Governor Aiyedatiwa is not just running for re-election; he is dedicated to fostering hope, prosperity, and unity throughout Ondo State. I believe he is the leader capable of making these goals a reality,” he stated.
Shettima framed the upcoming election as an important decision: “This election is not just about choosing between two candidates; it represents a choice between advancement and stagnation, unity and division. It’s an opportunity to align with a party that has a proven track record of delivering results and a leader who truly understands the needs of Ondo.”
As he urged voters to remember the core values of the APC, he highlighted the importance of electing a governor with the necessary experience, compassion, and determination to drive Ondo forward. “Let’s join forces to secure the future of Ondo. Vote APC and re-elect Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa,” he encouraged.
In expressing President Bola Tinubu’s support for Aiyedatiwa, Shettima noted the President’s commitment despite his absence due to a summit in Saudi Arabia aimed at securing vital development opportunities for the nation. “Today, I convey the goodwill of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is with us in spirit and has wholeheartedly endorsed the Aiyedatiwa-Adelami ticket as the champions of progress for Ondo State,” he remarked.
The Vice President underscored that only the APC can provide effective solutions to the economic challenges facing the state. “Consider the efforts we have made to strengthen our economy, even if the benefits are not always immediately apparent. The APC is committed to offering practical solutions that will ensure a brighter future for Ondo State,” he concluded.
