The Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, expressed confidence in the All Progressives Congress‘s (APC) victory but cautioned against underestimating opponents in the upcoming gubernatorial election slated for November 16, 2024.
He said: ‘Once again, I appreciate all my supporters. You all went a long way for me, initiated things, spreading the message of O’datiwa, O’dirorun across the 18 local government areas of the State.’
However, he emphasised the need to remain vigilant and focused on the challenges ahead, despite the victory in the party’s primary election.
‘It is not over yet. This is just the first phase. There’s still more land to conquer; there’s still a great battle ahead. The primary election was just a in-house contest and now we head to the main battle,’ he added.
The event, chaired by Mrs Bukola Tenabe, aimed to honour the governor’s triumph in the APC primary election and acknowledge the dedication of his supporters.
