The Ondo State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Kayode Ajulo, has predicted a landslide victory for Governor Lucky Ayedatiwa in the November 16 gubernatorial election in the state.
Aiyedatiwa is the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the coming election.
Ajulo in a statement on Monday said the governor would sweep the polls in all the 18 local government areas of the state.
He said: “With the wisdom that flows from my modest age and a lifetime of service, I stand today not as a mere observer but as a dedicated advocate for Ondo State’s progress.
“I have walked the path of challenge and triumph which made me clearly understand the full spectrum of victory and defeat.
“This journey has taught me the heart of our people and the essence of what true leadership demands.”
“I therefore approach this moment with deep conviction rather than frivolity. The upcoming Ondo election is not merely a contest; it is a certainty.
“The APC, under the steadfast leadership of Aiyedatiwa, is poised to secure a sweeping victory across all 18 local governments – All, this I affirm.
“This is not mere optimism but a clear recognition of the collective will of the people, who seek continuity, stability, and progress. Aiyedatiwa’s leadership has ignited a fire of hope, and together, we will carry this flame forward.”
The commissioner said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which is the leading opposition party in the state, was in disarray.
According to him, the PDP candidate was struggling for relevance as he was being haunted by past transgressions.
“The opposition party candidate faces the shadow of apparent disqualification that comes with criminal liabilities, that saw all his party men and women exodus to the APC.
“With members defecting en masse to the APC, it’s evident that the PDP’s foundation has crumbled.
“This election is not only about electing a leader; it is about affirming the aspirations of Ondo’s residents, and choosing a future anchored in integrity, and rejecting a past marked by discord and division,” he said.
