Ahead of the March 9 House of Assembly election in Ondo State, the Governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has appealed for the support of residents for his party, APC, at the forthcoming polls.


This is in an apparent panic mood, after the loss of the Presidential election to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and most of National Assembly seats in the state to other parties.

The Governor who has been queried by the APC’s National Working Committee, NWC, for alleged anti-party activities, which was gathered culminated to the poor outing of the party, addressed the people of Ondo State in what looked like a hurriedly put together state broadcast, on the need for residents to vote APC candidates.


Recall that Akeredolu, who lost his polling unit to the Action Alliance, AA, during the last Saturday’s poll, had during the campaigns instructed his supporters to mobilize for the victory of AA’s National Assembly candidates in the state following their failure to secure tickets under the APC platform.

According to Akeredolu, who spoke via state owned media channels, the election should be seen as a family affair, particularly for the residents of the state, in order to avoid rancour free administration between the executive and the legislature.

His words reads in parts, “I wish to thank you, profusely, for your co-operation in ensuring that the state remains a reference point for reasons of valour, courage and fierce independence in the art of deliberative governance. your attitudes, manifest or implied, leave no room for conjectures. When you speak, It is eloquent, when you choose to act, your message is not mistaken. our land is indeed a lesson for those who cherish frankness.



“I solicit the continued support of the good people of Ondo State for these uncommon patriots. The reward of visionary and purposeful leadership is the overwhelming votes of approbation, delivered resoundingly, throughout the country. It is my fervent expectation that this will continue as we go into the second term of this administration soon.

“My good people of Ondo State, I know you are aware of the next round of elections fixed for 9th March, 2019 by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). This is another very important exercise; local political leaders are going to be chosen to represent our people as governor and at the house of assembly.

“I appeal to you to see this exercise as a strictly family affairs in which brothers and sisters, with shared heritage, and even blood affinity, will be locked in an innocuous electoral combat for the benefit of all. our dear state will be the ultimate winner if all of us approach it in the spirit of sportsmanship. All of us will be winners and our people will be the better for it.

“I enjoin you to participate, actively, without let or hindrance. The government, on its part, will ensure that adequate security is provided for all our citizens to exercise their franchise. Our people are encouraged to feel confident in their attempt to choose their leaders.

“Citizens of this state, who are of Yoruba, Igbo, Ebira, Hausa, Oyo and Edo extraction, as well as other minority ethnic groups, should feel free to participate in the exercise as members of this large and heterogeneous family. I appeal, passionately, that we cast aside all divisive and primordial sentiments. Ondo State is our primary place of domicile. Our allegiance to her must be unalloyed.

“The participation of the electorate in the state is limited to the election of members to the House of Assembly. The Gubernatorial Election is due next year. This administration encourages voters to choose candidates whose campaign promises are in tandem with its vision on infrastructural development. We have been able to achieve this much due to the prudent management of limited resources. We hope to do more with the co-operation of patriotic members of the house of assembly who await your mandate in a couple of days,” the governor stated.

Similarly, the governor’s wife, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu in an audio broadcast currently in circulation in the state, is also soliciting for the support of residents towards the success of the APC’s House of Assembly candidates at the polls.

Betty who further described her husband as a progressive in the audio message, maintained that a vote for the APC at the polls is a vote for good governance in the state.

I still don't understand which part of the earth Nigerian politicians were imported from. They will prostrate for the masses to vote them and once they get the power, the next thing is to use the power agaist the same masses. Our politicians seem to be Secretary Generals to heartlessness and wickedness. It is well.

They should allow people to vote whoever they want to vote.

Akeredolu should should face reality.
PDP is slowly creeping into the South West albeit unconsciously.


Unless they would want us to believe their so-called sophisticated voting style is a mirage,
Let the people vote whomsoever they want.

PDP....will win most house of assembly seats

This guy is not a politician

Who do this ones think they are deceiving?

Woman dey rule this kpomo called Akeredolu

This O TO GE you started must sweep across your state. You are one of the godsons of Tinubu.

Ondo can't loss the state to PDP, all those ones wey dey pull for Presidential election na bobo

You're a COMPOUND fool.

Bia Ondo people ejoor vote for who you like
if possible populate the house with opposition candidates and make the GOVERNMENT sit up and make it known that you guys are capable of unseating any unserious Government

If a person does not live and work in a state he shud not be allowed to contest for elections there. All these imported lagos politicians self. Stupid old man

If u perform u don’t need to beg anybody. They will naturally vote for u.

People are beginning to realize the bullshit that is politicians

Sharrap!

Pains me to say Tinubu was right.

When you were carrying out anti party activities you didnt know abi?

Ok

Future Leader..where did you get this kind of news? What panic?

The issue is that he has compromised his own party to the hands of opposition because he has issues with his party leadership and the candidates that emerged as senators and reps, so he reduced the influence and strength of the party.
Now he has realized that the opposition he is romancing with may put knife on his neck if they get majority in the state house of rep.

so, who come vote PDP for Ondo State?

Betty, your husband took some ill-advised steps that may end up costing him reelection. Imagine if his political foes within APC in the state team up with the opposition against his second term ambition? He can kiss his reelection ambition goodbye.

Ondo people will vote the PDP and nothing can be done except rigging!

Worst governor in the history of Ondo state..busy chasing young girls upandan

I respect Tinubu for that, he always sniff out somebody who will give party issues and he alway warn party before hand. I only hate his over bearing attitudes.
