With Nigerians joining their counterparts across the world
to celebrate the New Year, Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State on
Sunday called on Nigerians to intensify prayers for the country, especially as
the 2023 general elections draw near.
Akeredolu urged the people to recommit themselves to the
unity and advancement of the country, expressing optimism that the nation will
overcome its difficulties stronger and better.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard
Olatunde, the governor who congratulated the residents of the state on
witnessing 2023, harped on the need for everyone to imbibe the spirit of
gratitude to their creator.
Ondo State, he said, had good reason to be grateful for
God’s unfailing compassion and mercy, which had kept it and its residents alive
through the difficulties of 2022.
While soliciting support for the candidate of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the polls in February,
Akeredolu said the former Lagos State governor is capable of improving the
country’s democracy tremendously.
He emphasised that Tinubu will provide opportunities and as
well make the country a shining beacon of hope and stability.
According to him: “2023 is a very crucial year, especially
in the life of our country. We must be deliberate in making the right choices.
Our collective targets must showcase our respect for our diverse interests.
“Let us embrace reason and truth. We must be unanimous in
shunning cynicism and mistrust. Our chief objective must be competence in the
choice of leadership.
“As the 2023 general elections approach, let us make a
conscious effort to deepen our democratic gains by electing a competent
candidate as the next president.”
