One of the leading governorship aspirants on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ondo state, Mr. Akinterinwa, has assured that the state would become industrialized if he is given the opportunity to serve.

The immediate past Commissioner for Finance gave the assurance during his campaign tour of Owo in Owo Local Government Area of the State.

Akinterinwa explained that he and other members of his campaign train were in Owo, the hometown of the late Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, to seek their support, saying “it’s evident that even before we expressed our intention, you were ready and had already expressed your support for our project. The entire Owo is for Wale. Thank you so much”, he said.

He particularly expressed his gratitude to the people of the ancient town for the massive turnout, assuring them that if elected into office, he would ensure that the State is taken to a new height.

“We will ensure that Ondo State becomes industrialised. It won’t be solely about white-collar jobs. I will personally woo investors and attract investments to Ondo State.

“We will take Ondo State to the next level and prioritise women and youth development. Our people will enjoy the dividends of good governance under our leadership,” he declared.

In his welcome address, the Chairman of the APC in Owo, Mr. Samuel Balogun, described the governorship aspirant as a loyal supporter and follower of the late Governor Akeredolu.
