Ondo State Governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has called on members of the All Progressives Congress in the state to maintain Unity, cooperation even as the governorship elections draws near.
He said though the ruling party was ahead of the opposition, there was no room for complacency.
The governor spoke during a meeting in Akure with the party’s leaders and stakeholders from the 18 local government areas of the state.
Aiyedatiwa, described the primary election as a family affair and urged aggrieved persons to move ahead in the interest of the party.
He said, “While we may have disagreements at times, let us work together for our victory on November 16.
“Our party members need continuous encouragement, not just during election periods. Everything I have promised will come to fruition; they are not just mere words. In this administration, it is action over words.
“I encourage our party leaders to return to their respective local governments, put in even more effort, and unite everyone.”
Earlier, in his welcome address, the Ondo APC Chairman, Mr Ade Adetimehin, also called for unity.
He said, “The primary was merely an in-house affair, now is the time for unity. Together we are strong; divided we are weak. We must pool our strength together. One person cannot achieve this alone, which is why unity is essential. We need to be sincere with one another, as that is the essence of politics.”
