Barely two weeks to the gubernatorial election in Ondo State, various groups and individuals have begun to rally support for the incumbent governor, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa. In a recent development, leaders from the Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State have called for widespread support for Governor Aiyedatiwa to secure his re-election in the November 16 election.
These leaders, who are kinsmen of the governor, emphasized the importance of unity and collective effort in ensuring Aiyedatiwa’s victory. Their appeal is part of a broader campaign to mobilize support across different regions of the state.
In another related event, Governor Usman Ododo of Kogi State also rallied support for Aiyedatiwa among the Ebira community in Ondo State. This move is seen as a strategic effort to garner votes from diverse ethnic groups within the state.
However, the Labour Party in Ondo State has criticized the perception that Aiyedatiwa and the Peoples Democratic Party‘s candidate, Agboola Ajayi, are the only leading candidates in the election. The Labour Party argued that their candidate, Chief Olusola Nehemiah Ebiseni, is equally a strong contender and should not be excluded from important political debates.
