Akeredolu explained that apart from the numerous road projects constructed by the present administration in the local government it has also rehabilitated a good number of Schools which had attracted more pupils back to school.
He solicited for the people’s continued support in future elections and declared that APC was ready to do more for the people of the area.

Represented by Lisa of Ondo kingdom, High Chief Simeon Oguntimehin, he appreciated Akeredolu for the laudable projects executed in the area and appealed for the commencement of operations at Omotoso Power plant to solve the erratic power problem experienced in the area.
In Ondo East local government, the governor also thanked the people for their loyalty and support for the party during the last House of Assembly election.
