“With what we have accomplished over the last 10 months, I’m confident that the people recognize our dedication and know whom they want to lead them,” he stated. “I believe I hold a strong position in this election, given the efforts we’ve made since I assumed office. We’ve visited every one of the state’s 18 local government areas and connected directly with communities throughout Ondo.”
Describing the experience in his own community, Aiyedatiwa added, “It’s been peaceful here, and the turnout is very encouraging. I trust that this sense of calm and commitment is being seen across other areas of the state.”
