Ondo 2024: APC confident of landslide victory as party receives more PDP members

The All Progressives Congress in Ondo State is confident of what it called an “unprecedented landslide victory” in the November governorship election in the state.

It said its governorship candidate, Lucky Ayedatiwa, will enjoy an easy victory following the continuous depletion and absence of a viable opposition in Ondo State political space.

In a statement signed by the party’s publicity secretary, Alex kalejaye, APC said said the its envisaged “unprecedented landslide victory would be aided by the political giants that recently defected to the ruling party from the disabled People’s Democratic Party (PDP)”.

Describing PDP as a struggling main opposition party, APC mocks PDP for failing to stop the defection of the experienced political players, including former governor, former federal lawmakers, former speaker of the House of Assembly, among others.

“PDP loss, is APC gain”, the statement said.

Attempts by the aggrieved party to denounce and deny the political influence and relevance of these notable gladiators are understandably borne out of glaring frustration.

In expressing such frustrations, APC cautioned that a sitting governor deserves some level of respect, and called on party spokesmen to be more cultured in their choice of words while addressing the Chief Executive Officer of a State.

The people of Ondo State are convinced that the defectors are successful leaders, in and outside politics, and are only concerned about the speedy development of the Sunshine State, which Governor Lucky Ayedatiwa, symbolises.

The APC-led government, under the new dispensation, has nibbed in the bud the era of indiscriminate borrowing to finance government operations. Instead, it has introduced measures to ensure that the state operates within it’s means, and keeps for the raining day.

The policy of conservation, notwithstanding, work is in progress on some roads, like Oda and Ijoka, while government agents are finalising a review of stalled contracts with contractors.

The government has further conceived projects, which would have direct impacts on the rural areas, that will soon be awarded to credible and qualified contractors for timely execution.

The State chapter commended the Governor for prioritising welfare of the senior citizens, besides prompt payment of salaries and emoluments.

The party observed that the beauty of serving a system meritoriously is the assurance that the system will support when age beckons, and strength depletes.

“It is our sincere expectation that the senior citizens and their entire family will reciprocate the unprecedented gesture during the election”, the party added.
