Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu who was re-elected for a second term on Saturday promised not to take the people of the state for granted.
In his victory remarks, the governor said, “ I don’t believe I had opponents. Everything is over now. The election is over now. I want them to join hands with me to move the state forward.
“ I thank all my party leaders for their support. I thank the great people of Ondo State, their trust reposed in me would not be taken for granted. I will not disappoint them. We set out on the first leg of this political adventure with the determination to make the whole state our constituency.
“We have not relented on our mission to bridge the huge infrastructural deficit inherited on assumption of office. We hold the axiom as evident that the welfare of the people should be the only justification for the existence of government. We have allowed this admonition to be the guiding principle of governance. We are elated to receive a scorecard through this state-wide plebiscite.”
The chairman of the APC Ondo Governorship campaign council, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwoolu , said Akeredolu’s victory was well deserved.
He stated, “ Akeredolu deserves the victory, It is clear that Ondo people know what is right and they have done what is right.”
