The Iconic Governor of Lagos, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN)
has paid a solidarity visit to the flagbearer of the Action Congress of Nigeria
(ACN) Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu(SAN) in Akure. Governor Fashola expressed confidence
in Akeredolu capacity to deliver on his promises to transform Ondo State if
voted in as governor because he is another SAN with a SOUND mind.
A statement by Idowu Ajanaku, the Director Media, Publicity
and Strategy of Akeredolu Campaign Organisation (ACO) said Fashola whose
performance as governor of Lagos State has become a benchmark for development
in Nigeria and indeed Africa, strongly asked the good people of Ondo State to
vote for Akeredolu as governor on October 20 so that he can replicate the type
of developmental project currently being enjoyed in Lagos.
“For us at ACO, we say that Akeredolu would not disappoint
the good people of Ondo State like Governor Olusegun Mimiko who has wasted
their resources on purchase of awards, cosmetic projects with no direct bearing
on the socio-economic development of the people in the past three years. He
would create 30,000 jobs in his first 100 days in office, will pursue
comprehensive health care programme which will ensure that health workers are
happy and every strata of the populace is cared for; implement affordable
housing scheme for Civil servants and medium/low income earners; massive
infrastructural development both in the rural and urban areas of the state.”
"Besides, the abrupt cancellation of the independence day
celebration in Ondo State by Mimiko while other States of the Federation are
celebrating is an indication that he is not only jittery but has lost focus. In
fact, it is an admission that there is nothing to celebrate in the
nonperformance of the Mimiko government which has brought misery to the people.
We want to call on the good people of Ondo State to strengthen their resolve to
vote Mimiko out on October 20. They have a date with destiny and a glorious
opportunity to restore the pride of place of Ondo State in the South west and
indeed Nigeria."
In his response, Akeredolu thanked Governor Fashola and
promised to replicate what he is doing in Lagos in Ondo State. He also promised
to continue to uplift the noble profession to which they both belong and commit
to the development of the people of Nigeria. On hand to receive Fashola
alongside Akeredolu are Chief Nathaniel Adesoji the State Chairman of ACN, the
Director General of the Campaign Organisation, Chief Tayo Alasoadura, Senator
Ajayi Boroffice, Hon. Ifedayo Abegunde, Hon. Jaiyeola Ajata, Engr. Ade
Adetimehin, Mr. Adegboyega Adedipe and other party leaders in the State.
