Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State has expressed optimism about emerging as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state.
Aiyedatiwa said this at a strategic meeting of officials and
other members of the Lucky Aiyedatiwa Campaign Organisation Foot Soldiers,
LACO-FS, in Akure.
A statement by the LACO-FS Director of Information, Mr
Kayode Fasua, quoted the governor as saying “My supporters should continue
working and never doubt as my coming victory in the primary and general
elections is the promise of God.”
He described his predecessor, the late governor, Mr Rotimi
Akeredolu as a prophet, who foresaw that he would succeed him as the next
governor of Ondo State.
“This (my emergence as governor) is what my late boss,
Governor Akeredolu wanted. A lot of people don’t know Akeredolu; they don’t
know that he was a prophet.
“There was a time after he (Akeredolu) returned from a
medical vacation that he told the cabinet members during an executive council
meeting that ‘Look, Aiyedatiwa will emerge as the next governor,” he recalled.
Aiyedatiwa said his ambition, to contest for governor beyond
the mandate of his joint ticket with the late Akeredolu, was not a tour de
force but a sincere mission to transform Ondo State and uplift the standard of
living of its people.
The LACO-FS Convener, Dr Oladipupo Okeyomi, during the
occasion, said over 250,000 campaigners code-named ‘Foot Soldiers’ had been
positioned across the 18 local government areas of Ondo State, to secure
victory for Aiyedatiwa.
