“Governor Aiyedatiwa, the Ebira community stands with you; we are here in solidarity because we believe in continuity. Since the passing of the late Governor Akeredolu, you have upheld his legacies and continued the good work he started.
“You have been tested and trusted, and that is why we are 100 percent behind you.
The Ebira people are solid with you, and we will ensure victory come November 16.”
In his response, Governor Aiyedatiwa expressed gratitude for the community’s support and praised President Tinubu’s commitment to Ondo State’s economic development.
