With just two days left before the Ondo State governorship election, three candidates from Accord Party, National Rescue Movement, and African Democratic Congress have stepped down to support the incumbent, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of the All Progressives Congress .
The Accord Party’s candidate, Dr. Ajibola Falaye, announced his decision after a visit to the governor, stating it was motivated by Aiyedatiwa’s dedication to Ondo’s development. Falaye shared, “We have been watching him, and his doors are always open to all.”
The NRM candidate, Hon. Jenyo Ataunoko, and ADC’s deputy candidate, Mr. Olaide Rasheed Ibrahim, joined in endorsing Aiyedatiwa, citing his commitment to public service and Ondo’s security. “The state has been experiencing relative peace under his watch,” said Falaye, emphasizing the governor’s dedication to safety.
Falaye also praised the governor’s development efforts, saying, “We see the infrastructural development that has taken place even within this short period. It is clear that the governor is actively working for the people. This Saturday, we will turn our commitment into votes. We will vote for continuity in Ondo State.”
Aiyedatiwa expressed deep gratitude for the endorsement, calling it a “quality decision made out of goodwill” by the candidates. He acknowledged their act of statesmanship, saying, “I didn’t call for this, but I am grateful that my colleagues in the race have voluntarily identified with my mandate and are ready to mobilise their supporters to vote for the APC.”
