Ahead of the Saturday local government election in Ondo State, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed confidence that the party will win in all the 18 local government areas of the state.
The party boasted that, given the performance of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s administration, the state’s people would come out in force to cast their votes for the party’s candidates on Saturday.
Addressing journalists in Akure, the state capital, on Monday, the party’s state Publicity Secretary, Alex Kalejaye, hinted that the party had constituted a five-man committee led by the party’s state Organizing Secretary, Charles Fagbohunka, to coordinate the party’s campaigns ahead of the poll.
Kalejaye said, “Likewise, the party has constituted a Reconciliation Committee led by state Vice Chairman Atili Agabra to settle all misunderstandings and disagreements among party members ahead of the Saturday poll.”
On preparing the party ahead of the poll, Kalejaye further stated that the party had met all the conditions the Ondo State Independent Electoral Commission(ODIEC) reeled out, and all their candidates across the 18 local government areas are sellable.
Kalejaye said, “You are all aware that it’s no longer fashionable to appoint a caretaker committee for local government. That’s why the state electoral commission must conduct the local government election in all the 18 local government areas of the state.
“We are fully prepared. We have started the campaign by meeting with all stakeholders across all the 18 local government areas of the state. We have constituted campaign committees at local government, ward, and unit levels to mobilise the people sensibly ahead of the Saturday poll.
“We have also constituted another committee led by the state Organizing Secretary of our party, Hon. Charles Fagbohunka, to coordinate all the campaign committees across the 18 local government areas.”
