The All Progressives Congress (APC) Ondo State chapter has called on other political parties participating in the November 16 governorship election in the state to approach their campaigns with maturity.
The appeal reflects the belief of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa in the importance of promoting peaceful campaigning for the benefit of the state.
In a statement issued by the State Publicity Secretary of the ruling APC, Alex Kalejaye the party said it was concerned about the prevalence of falsehoods and a lack of decency displayed by some political parties.
“The rhetoric and behaviour of certain party leaders, particularly from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), clearly indicate a troubling level of desperation. Such conduct is detrimental to peace and development.
“We must not sacrifice facts, discipline, and respect for our citizens’ sensibilities for political gain.
“The Sunshine State is fortunate to have a governor and candidate who embodies inclusiveness and unity, showing respect for all stakeholders. Governor Aiyedatiwa prioritizes the state’s interests over personal ambitions, demonstrating a genuine commitment to the development of our land and its people. He serves as a model for others.” the statement read
The Governor , the party said is actively campaigning, visiting wards and local governments with dignity ,which sets a standard for all participants in the electoral process.
It expressed hope that voters would carefully assess all candidates and place their trust in reliable and dependable leadership.
“In just a few months, the APC candidate has illustrated what government should prioritize: the welfare and security of our people, the stimulation of the local economy, and essential infrastructure development.” It added
The party assured the people of thr state that an APC-led government under Aiyedatiwa will go above and beyond to earn and justify their trust.
