In twilight’s gentle embrace, yesterday fades away, Aiyedatiwa, you emerge, a beacon on the shore,
With dreams like blossoms, as the dawn breaks the day,
Now, as you depart, you return to destiny’s core.

The echoes of your journey ripple like flowing streams,
In every road you’ve forged, in hearts you’ve held dear,
Yet, a new chapter calls, where hope brightly beams,
In the gardens of progress, where futures appear.

O Ondo, awaken to the dawn’s golden glow,
In the coming four years, let unity take root,
Sow seeds of compassion, watch them flourish and grow,
In the vibrant tapestry where our dreams bear fruit.

Nurture the fields of knowledge, let wisdom arise,
Transform learning into treasure, like blossoms in spring,
Empower our farmers, let their harvests surprise,
With fields of abundance, let gratitude sing.

Health flows like a river, nurturing our land,
Let it weave through our villages, rich and pure,
In every corner, let wellness lend a hand,
For a thriving Ondo, let love endure.

As we map the course for the years yet to bloom,
In the shadows of doubt, let courage entwine,
Embrace the storms of change, let hope dispel gloom,
For in the gardens of progress, our spirits align.

Four more years, then a promise renewed,
With each cycle of service, let passion ignite,
In the hearts of the people, let your vision be viewed,
For together, we’ll rise, like flowers in light.

Aiyedatiwa, as you wear the mantle of fate,
May your path be adorned with blossoms and grace,
In the power of change, in the strength to create,
In Ondo’s lush gardens, let our dreams find their place.

So here’s to the journey, both challenging and grand,
With courage as our compass, we’ll resolutely stand,
As you lead us onward, with a nurturing hand,
In the gardens of progress let our hopes expand.

Mayegun Ajulo
