SECRETARY to Ondo State Government (SSG) Ifedayo Abegunde at the weekend hosted members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Akure South and Akure North local governments for consolidation.

There have been unfounded rumours by political detractors in the state that Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu and his SSG are not in good terms, which has been disproved.

The APC stalwart, who received over 1,000 party members at his Alagbaka-Akure home, said the purpose of the meeting was to keep them abreast of happenings in the party and discuss members’ welfare.


Abegunde thanked members for coming despite the short notice, stressing that their action demonstrated their love for the ruling party.

He said: “This meeting is called to awaken us from slumber and energise us on the need for regular meetings, at least once every month, because such meeting is the engine of any party.

“This will enable us to be active and create a platform for airing our views so that we can present our needs and concern to Mr. Governor.


“Election is coming next year and we, as drivers of the party, must get prepared for the party supporters outside there who rely on us.

“We are doing it in order to give full support to our governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, for continuity. His Four plus Four project is our project and we are working on it, driving it to be successful.”

The SSG noted that Akeredolu had done well to guarantee him second term.

He said: “As an experienced politician who has worked with three governors in the state, I can boldly say we have never seen a governor being passionate about the welfare of his people as Governor Akeredolu.

“He has performed very well. Infrastructural development is obvious across the state and the roads being done by this administration can stand the test of time.”
