Ondo State Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu made a plea to voters on Monday at Okitipupa to support Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all APC candidates in the upcoming elections.
He urged residents of the Ondo South senatorial district to support Dr Jimoh Ibrahim for the position of senator.
At the campaign flag-off for the Ondo South Senatorial District, the governor made the request.
Akeredolu, Director-General of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council in the Southwest, pleaded with voters to support only APC candidates for every office, including the presidency and seats in the national and state legislatures.
He claimed that the APC has put out the strongest candidates capable of saving the nation and the state.
“We have arranged the best candidates so far, who are capable and have all it takes to change the narratives for Nigerians and residents of Ondo State to enjoy better dividends of democracy.
“I urge you Ondo South electorates to vote Tinubu, Ibrahim and all APC candidates across the board,’’ Akeredolu charged.
He handed over APC flags to Ibrahim and to all candidates of the party contesting for various positions.
Earlier, Chief Ade Adetimehin, APC Chairman in Ondo State, said the party was waxing stronger and better because of the unity among members.
He thanked Ondo South electorates for trooping out for the campaign flag-off, saying that they should turn out en-masse and vote for all APC candidates.
“We urge you to troop out en-masse on Election Day and vote APC all through and do not be deceived by other people who are not stable.
“They jump from one party to another; this kind of people cannot be trusted,’’ Adetimehin said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that a mammoth crowd who despised the scorching sun thronged the campaign flag-off as supporters wore different T-shirts, and fez caps and carry the placards of their candidates.
The crowd was entertained and treated to high life and juju music by Prince Demola Suzy, an Ikale juju musician. (NAN)
