APC defends Governor Aiyedatiwa’s vision against opposition’s criticism

[Press Release] The All Progressives Congress, Ondo State chapter wishes to address the insinuations from opposition parties, including the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the Social Democratic Party (SDP), regarding the expectations for the incoming administration of Governor Aiyedatiwa, who will be sworn in on Monday.

It is disheartening to witness the continued negativity and unfounded claims from parties that have consistently failed to connect with the aspirations of the good people of Ondo State. The overwhelming victory of Governor Aiyedatiwa in the last governorship election is a clear testament to the trust and confidence the electorate has in his leadership. The landslide victory reflects the collective desire for progress, development, and good governance that the APC has championed.

Governor Aiyedatiwa’s administration is poised to build on the solid foundation laid by his predecessor. His commitment to transparency, accountability, and inclusivity will guide his governance. We wish to remind the opposition of the numerous achievements that have already been realized under the APC leadership, which serve as a precursor to the promising future ahead:
