Ahead of November governorship election, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State has stated that in the coming weeks, it will launch a robust campaign built on the foundation of “our life-changing initiatives and commitment to the welfare of the people.”

It sought the support of the electorate to continue its journey towards a brighter future that aligns with the Renewed Hope agenda championed by President Bola Tinubu.

The State Director of Media and Publicity of the party, Mr. Steve Otaloro, in a statement noted that as the country navigates challenging economic times, it is crucial to remain steadfast and united.

In the statement, the APC addressed the recent barrage of unwarranted attacks and unfounded allegations directed at Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa and the party by the opposition, stating that such behaviour was not only unbecoming but also a disservice to the electorate, who deserve constructive discourse rather than mere political mudslinging.

“As the upcoming governorship election approaches, it is evident that these criticisms stemmed from a place of desperation, as the opposition grapples with the reality of dwindling support.

“Many former members of their ranks have defected to the APC, drawn by the remarkable achievements and transparent governance demonstrated by Governor Aiyedatiwa during his tenure.

“We wish to remind the opposition that elections are won through a focus on concrete achievements and a clear vision for the future, not through baseless attacks and fabrications.

“The people of Ondo State are eager to hear about viable policies and programmes that will uplift their lives, rather than being subjected to the venomous rhetoric that has characterized the opposition’s campaign thus far.

“The opposition’s attempts to politicize national issues and attribute them solely to the governor and the APC are not only misleading but also a distraction from their own internal struggles.

“We encourage them to reflect on their own shortcomings rather than casting aspersions on those who are diligently working for the betterment of our state.

“To the good people of Ondo State, we urge you to remain resolute in your support for the APC. Let us continue to work together to build a prosperous and resilient state,” it stated.
