BOLU-OLU ESHO, Akure
Ahead of the November 16 gubernatorial election, All Progressives Congress(APC) has sought the support of the people of Ondo State irrespective of the criticisms from the opposition.
It described the criticisms from the opposition as “unwarranted and unfounded.”
A statement by the Director, Media and Publicity of the party, Steve Otaloro, on Sunday read that the opposition’s attack was a disservice to the people of the state because it’s mere political mudslinging.
Otaloro noted that the party would leverage on the achievements of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa to convince the people on why they should reelect APC on November 16, 2024.
According to the statement, “The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State has taken note of the recent barrage of unwarranted attacks and unfounded allegations directed at our esteemed Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and our party by the opposition.
“Such behavior is not only unbecoming but also a disservice to the electorate who deserve constructive discourse over mere political mudslinging.

“As the upcoming governorship election approaches, it is evident that their criticisms stem from a place of desperation, as the opposition grapples with the reality of dwindling support.
“Many former members of their ranks have defected to the APC, drawn by the remarkable achievements and transparent governance demonstrated by Governor Aiyedatiwa in his tenure.
“We wish to remind the opposition that elections are won through a focus on concrete achievements and a clear vision for the future, not through baseless attacks and fabrications.
“The people of Ondo State are eager to hear about viable policies and programmes that will uplift their lives, rather than being subjected to the venomous rhetoric that has characterized the opposition’s campaign thus far.
“In the coming weeks, the APC will launch a robust campaign, built on the foundation of our life-changing initiatives and our commitment to the welfare of the people. We seek the support of the electorate to continue our journey towards a brighter future, one that aligns with the Renewed Hope agenda championed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“As we navigate these challenging economic times, it is crucial to remain steadfast and united. The opposition’s attempts to politicize national issues and attribute them solely to the Governor and the APC are not only misleading but also a distraction from their internal struggles.
“We encourage them to reflect on their shortcomings rather than casting aspersions on those who are diligently working for the betterment of our state.
“To the good people of Ondo State, we urge you to remain resolute in support of the APC. Let us continue to work together to build a prosperous and resilient Ondo State. Together, we will overcome the challenges ahead and ensure our beloved state thrives.”
