AKOKO APC LEADERS RECEIVE ADELAMI, ASSURE AIYEDATIWA OF A RESOUNDING VICTORY AT THE POLLS.
Sunday Olugbenga Abire .
Ikare Akoko, the headquarter of Akoko North East witnessed the gathering of eminent leaders of the All Progressive Congress from the four local government areas in Akoko as they chart a new course for the resounding victory of Governor Aiyedatiwa in the forthcoming gubernatorial election.
Akoko is reputed to be the home of Progressives. Not just that, the unity of purpose of its people on any mission singles them out. They show strength fearlessly and pursue lofty ideas in the general interest of the over forty settlements that make up Akoko region. The commonality enjoyed by more than forty settlements camped into four local government areas that is called Akoko today may not be found anywhere in Ondo state. It is one nation, one voice, one indivisible people.
It is considered a big blessing that Akoko people have decided to key and queue behind Governor Aiyedatiwa for the purpose of ensuring that he wins massively in November. The Akokos do not give votes in pieces but blocks. Their political fidelity is topnotch and they intrepidly give to whoever merits it.
The Deputy Governor of Ondo State, chief Olayide Adelami painstakingly listened to the yearnings of the leaders of the party in the four local government areas of Akoko. The leaders whose concerns bother on party reorganization, political patronage, women empowerment, youth inclusion and genuine intervention in the alleged lopsidedness in the creation of local council development areas (LCDAs) called on Governor Aiyedatiwa to act without further delay.
However, chief Adelami, while responding, promised to table their agitations before the Governor, assuring them that no stone would be left unturned. While allaying their fear on insecurity prevalent in their farm settlements as echoed by one of the leaders, the Deputy Governor reassured the people, citing efforts that have been put in place by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa to enhance the security of lives and properties.
On party politics, chief Adelami vowed that Akoko people will not be forgotten, noting that all members of the party cannot truly be appointed to serve in government but efforts will be made to reward consistency, loyalty and fidelity to the party. He hinted on policies of government that will positively affect the people of Ondo state irrespective of their political leanings.
The cheerful leaders in the well attended meeting promised to take the message of hope delivered to them by the Deputy Governor of Ondo State to their respective domains while anticipating favourable actions from the Governor.
Those present at the meeting include, Commissioner for Regional Integration, Prince Boye Ologbese, Commissioner for Tourism and culture, Alhaji Rasheed Badmus, Commissioner for Environment, Hon. Oyeniyi Oseni, Special Adviser on Special Duties and Strategy, Comrade Gani Muhammed, Special Adviser on Energy, Hon Alabi Johnson, Special Adviser on Transportation, Akogun Omole Olugbenga, SUBEB Chairman and former Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Rt.Hon. Victor Olabimtan, Chairman House of Assembly Commission, Rt Hon Dare Emiola, House of Assembly members from Akoko, former federal legislators, former CJN, former chairmen and other political appointees too numerous to mention.
