Ondo 2024: Odu confident of landslide victory for APC

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Princess Oladunni Odu, has expressed confidence in Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the party’s candidate, emerging victorious in the Nov. 16 governorship poll in the state.

Odu, the first female Secretary to the State Government (SSG), who served under late Gov. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, told the newsmen in Okitipupa on Tuesday, that the electorate in the state would vote Progressives to stay with the ruling party at the centre.

The APC chieftain said that the party’s women forum in the state was ready for the governorship poll and had mobilised support for the ruling party ahead of Saturday’s poll.

” In Nigeria of today, the women folk play active role in participatory democracy and as strong supporters in the home front.

“The state APC women have canvassed in their homes and neighbourhood for the party, because women population at anytime is always more.

“So, the backing of the women will go a long way to shore up the victory margin of APC at the off cycle governorship election,” Odu said.

The APC chieftain said that there was no chance for any of the other opposition parties to claim victory, stressing “none of them has the leverage of APC”.

She said that in the election in Edo, APC stepped up its game and ousted the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in power.

Odu said that APC had established a formidable foundation for the economic development and political stability of the state under late Gov. Akeredolu, adding “his successor, Aiyedatiwa, has followed in the same stride.”

She appealed to the electorate in the state to turn out enmasse and cast their votes for APC in Saturday’s election in order for the government to consolidate on its programmes and the progress made in the state.
