A political group within the All Progressives Congress, APC known as G30 has declared their support for Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa in the forthcoming governorship election primary of the party.
The group who said Governor Aiyedatiwa has what it takes to create a very strong impact for the people of the state within the next four years of his administration, noted that their endorsement has nothing to do with the zoning arrangement in the state.
Addressing journalists in Akure, the state capital, the convener of the group, Dr Tola Awosika who was flanked by a former member of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Adefisoye, Dr Oluwaseun Bosede Osamaye and other members said whether Aiyedatiwa is spending two or four years, his endorsement as the governorship candidate of APC in the November election was for the benefit of the state.
The group who also launched bottled water for all supporters of Aiyedatiwa ahead of his campaign across all local government areas of the state, said they have carefully evaluated the capacity of Aiyedatiwa in the last few months at the saddle of power and that he should be allowed to consolidate on it.
Awosika said: “I think we should be more worried about tomorrow, what happens to our state, not what happens in a year, two, three or four years.
‘I’m sure you know that at the time the Northern senatorial district was clamouring for their own turn, they also wanted eight years but unfortunately God is the one that decides tomorrow and our late governor was only able to achieve seven years, but in those seven years he did his own part.
“He impacted his people and the people are very pleased with the Legacy that he left for them as far as Ondo North is concerned. So I don’t see that being an issue for him. I think it’s not how long you spend, it is what you do when you’re given the opportunity.
“So, whether it’s two or four years, I believe he has what it takes to create a very sharp impact for the good people of Ondo State.”
