The deputy governor of Ondo state, Dr Olayide Adelami, mni, has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) is better positioned to win the November 16 governorship election in the state.
Dr Adelami made the remarks on Thursday, while receiving Dr Felix Kehinde, the 2023 People’s Democratic Party (PDP) House of Representatives candidate for Ondo East/Ondo West, at the Governor’s Office in Akure.
The deputy governor revealed that the APC is excited to have Dr Kehinde and many others in their camp, saying the Governor is indeed a leader Ondo state people need at the moment.
“The APC remains a party to beat in this election. We are lucky because we have a man whom God has ordained at the helm of affairs in the state. My principal is working day and night to take Ondo state to a greater height.
“Governor Aiyedatiwa constantly puts the people at the centre of his policies, projects and programs. We will never take the overwhelming support of Ondo state people for granted” Dr Adelami said.
The deputy governor seized the opportunity to urge the new entrants to see the APC as a progressive family, where everyone is welcomed with their ideas.
Dr Felix Kehinde, a long-time political associate of former governor of Ondo state, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, had resigned his membership of the PDP earlier in the week and moved to the All Progressives Congress (APC), alongside hundreds of leaders in the Mimiko political structure.
While congratulating Adelami on his emergence as the running mate to Governor Aiyedatiwa, the former House of Representatives candidate said the people of Ondo kingdom are proud to be part of the winning team.
