The former deputy governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Ondo State, Mrs. Susan Gbemisola Alabi, has officially joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mrs. Alabi recently resigned from the SDP over irreconcilable differences with the party’s governorship candidate, Otunba Bamidele Akingboye.
Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who is also the APC candidate in the upcoming November 16 governorship election, welcomed Alabi into the APC during his campaign tour of Akoko North West Local Government Area.
During the event, Aiyedatiwa emphasized that the 2025 budget would prioritize development across all parts of Ondo State, ensuring no region is neglected. “The 2025 budget will be well-structured to guarantee that every area of Ondo State benefits from development initiatives,” he said, adding that improvements in infrastructure and services would soon reach the Akoko North West area.
Governor Aiyedatiwa expressed gratitude to the local monarchs for their support during the APC primaries and their renewed endorsement ahead of the election. Speaking on behalf of 27 traditional rulers in the area, the Owa of Ogbagi, Oba Olasehinde Ojo Adetona, pledged their unwavering support, assuring the governor of strong voter turnout for the APC due to trust in his leadership.
While addressing party supporters in Oke Irun, Aiyedatiwa emphasized the importance of their unity and active participation in ensuring victory for the APC in the upcoming election. He highlighted that his campaign’s route through major areas in the local government was intentional, enabling him to gain a firsthand understanding of the communities’ challenges.
“By personally visiting these communities, I can see their needs directly, allowing me to respond quickly and ensure that no issue affecting your communities is overlooked,” Aiyedatiwa stated.
He further assured residents that concerns raised during the tour would be considered in future planning, focusing on enhancing the quality of life across the state. The atmosphere was celebratory in Oke Agbe, the local government headquarters, where Governor Aiyedatiwa reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to critical areas, including security, infrastructure, and agriculture.
