Lucky Aiyedatiwa, governor of Ondo, says all the governorship aspirants on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state will all gain — but at different times.
Aiyedatiwa said this in an acceptance speech on Sunday after
defeating 15 other governorship opponents to become the candidate of the APC in
Ondo.
The gubernatorial candidate, who was deputy to the late
Rotimi Akeredolu, took over the reins of the state after the latter’s demise.
The governor said a contest like the primary exercise comes with “discordant tunes”.
“Let me at this time
acknowledge and thank all the aspirants who threw their hats into the ring in
the family contest to be the flag-bearer: Hon. Mayowa Akinfolarin, Chief
Olusola Oke, SAN, Sen. Jimoh Ibrahim, Mr. Wale Akinterinwa, Hon. Isaac D.
Kekemeke, Hon. Gbenga Edema, Mr. Ohunyeye Olamide Felix, Hon. Olujimi Odimayo,
Mr. Olusoji Ehinlanwo, Morayo Lebi Esq, Prince Diran Iyantan, Prof. Francis
Faduyile, Engr. Ifeoluwa Oyedele, Mrs. Funmilayo Waheed Adekojo and Engr. Funke
Omogoroye,” he said.
“Your participation has created so much awareness within and
outside our party. You mobilized our members and removed apathy.
“You have also brought in numerous new members into the
party. All of these have enriched our democracy and strengthened our party in
the state.
“Democracy sometimes,
after a contest like this, comes with discordant tunes. But this is not the
time to hold grudges against anyone but for all of us to come together to work
for the success of our great party so as to remain in power.
“We will all gain in this party, though at different times,
if we keep faith. I salute your courage and keen interest to lead the State
towards development. It is your right and you are qualified and worthy members
of our party.
“I want to specially thank the President and Leader of our
party, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his leadership.”
Aiyedatiwa encouraged everyone to work together to build
Ondo.
