Former Minister of Defence, Prince Adetokunbo Kayode (SAN), has congratulated the governor of Ondo State, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, on his victory in Saturday’s gubernatorial election in the state.
Adetokunbo described the governor’s victory as a good omen for the people of the state, saying there would be tremendous development in all sectors in the state.
The erstwhile minister noted that the outcome of the November 16 poll was not different from what the people of the state expected.
He commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as well as the security agencies for efficient implementation of the constitutional guidelines in the conduct of the election.
“I congratulate the people of the state for voting for Governor Aiyedatiwa. The outcome of the election is a true reflection of the people’s will and it validated the acceptability of Governor Aiyedatiwa,” he said.
The former Attorney General of the Federation described Aiyedatiwa as a round peg in a round hole, stressing that the people of the state have chosen right by voting for the governor.
Adetokunbo said the people of the state should expect the governor to put in place a Master Plan for the expeditious development of the state.
He said: “This will be in addition to a more impactful infrastructure development support from the Federal government.
“All true patriots must align with and support the Lucky Governor in this new enterprise.”
