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.
