THE Ondo state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the party will record an unprecedented landslide victory in the forthcoming November 16th governorship election in the state.
According to the party’s spokesman, Mr. Alex kalejaye in a statement released on Sunday, In the absence of a viable opposition in Ondo State political space, the Governor and candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Lucky Ayedatiwa, will enjoy an easy victory at the governorship election in November.
He added that the unprecedented landslide victory would be aided by the political giants that recently defected to the ruling party from the disabled People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
“The struggling main opposition party should have done all it takes to stop the defection of the experienced political players, including former governor, former federal lawmakers, former speaker of the House of Assembly, among others. PDP loss, is APC gain.” He wrote.
“Attempts by the aggrieved party to denounce and deny the political influence and relevance of these notable gladiators are understandably borne out of glaring frustration.
“In expressing such frustrations, APC cautioned that a sitting governor deserves some level of respect, and called on party spokesmen to be more cultured in their choice of words while addressing the Chief Executive Officer of a State.
“The people of Ondo State are convinced that the defectors are successful leaders, in and outside politics, and are only concerned about the speedy development of the Sunshine State, which Governor Lucky Ayedatiwa, symbolises.
“The APC-led government, under the new dispensation, has nibbed in the bud the era of indiscriminate borrowing to finance government operations. Instead, it has introduced measures to ensure that the state operates within it’s means, and keeps for the raining day.
“The policy of conservation, notwithstanding, work is in progress on some roads, like Oda and Ijoka, while government agents are finalizing a review of stalled contracts with contractors.
“The government has further conceived projects, which would have direct impacts on the rural areas, that will soon be awarded to credible and qualified contractors for timely execution.
“The State chapter commended the Governor for prioritising welfare of the senior citizens, besides prompt payment of salaries and emoluments.
“The party observed that the beauty of serving a system meritoriously is the assurance that the system will support when age beckons, and strength depletes.
“It is our sincere expectation that the senior citizens and their entire family will reciprocate the unprecedented gesture during the election”, the party added.
