The All Progressives Congress in Ondo State commenced its campaign for the governorship election on Monday.
The campaign kicked off as the candidate of the party and incumbent governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, promised to carry more infrastructural projects across the state, if re-elected.
Aiyedatiwa said he would dualise the major road at Akungba Akoko in Akoko South-West Local Government Area of the state and construct an overhead bridge on it for pedestrians, to curb incessant road crashes in the community.
The governor made the promise on Monday during an interaction with market women and youths of the community, while returning from the senatorial campaign rally at Ikare Akoko in Akoko North East Local Government Area of the state.
Aiyedatiwa, who also addressed the residents of the Akoko area, stressed that the government had, in the last few months, considered various options before settling for the dualisation of the road and the overhead bridge.
He said: “The love and support you have shown me and our great party stem from the progress you have witnessed. You see the difference, and you want that progress to continue.

“We are recruiting more teachers for both primary and secondary schools because we understand that our children are the leaders of tomorrow, and they deserve a solid education.”
While soliciting votes from the people of the area, Aiyedatiwa pleaded, “On November 16, I urge everyone gathered here and those who are not present to convert your support into votes for the APC to ensure the continuation of our significant progress in the state,”
Speaking at the campaign, the Deputy Governor, Dr Olayide Adelami, who is also Aiyedatiwa’s running mate, said continuity was important in governance, urging the people to vote for the APC in the forthcoming poll.
“Our state has witnessed remarkable development under Governor Aiyedatiwa’s leadership.
“But we must not stop here, we need to push forward for even greater accomplishments.
“The coming election is not just about electing a governor, it’s about safeguarding our future and the progress we have made,” Adelami said.
