The governor of Ondo State, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and APC flag bearer ahead of the November 16 gubernatorial election, took his campaign train to Ese Odo Local Government yesterday, visiting key places and interacting with traditional rulers, religious leaders, and residents.
At Bolowou, His Royal Highness, the Anananawe of Bolowou, (Pere) Judge Ugulapelewei Jemine, warmly welcomed Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, expressing gratitude for the governor’s dedication to development across Ondo State.
Pere Jemine expressed unwavering support for the governor’s election bid. “We offer you our blessings for a victorious outcome in the upcoming election. Be assured that the people of Bolowou stand firmly with you. You have our total support, and come November 16, our votes will be yours.”
The governor also challenged the people to speak with their votes by exercising their franchise for the APC in the upcoming election, saying the main opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), no longer exists in the state.
“I want to thank you for your patience, as we gathered here today. I salute your love, unity, and support for us and the party. I’ll reciprocate this gesture after the election.
“No doubt, we have initiated many projects, and we will do more. Our roads, schools, and hospitals are receiving attention. We have also ensured there is security in the state.
“We are also employing more teachers in the school. So, come November 16, you must troop out en mass and vote for our party (APC) in the election.
“I want you to use our vote to chase away other political parties. As you know, all the gladiators in the PDP, are now with us. We have torn the umbrella of the main opposition party into shreds. In this coming election, your vote must be for the APC,” Aiyedatiwa said.
However, Aiyedatiwa pointed out some pressing needs that require the government’s urgent attention, emphasizing the importance of education and healthcare in their region. “We need the renovation of our public schools to ensure our children learn in a conducive environment. The approval of additional secondary schools is crucial, as many of our children currently have to travel far to get an education.”
As a gesture of goodwill and respect, the community performed the traditional breaking of kola nut to formally welcome Governor Aiyedatiwa.
The governor later visited His Grace, Rt. Rev. Princewill Epistle Jemine (JP), the Miyenkirigbolomowei II and General Overseer of Zion Mission.

Also, during the event, High Chief Ajube, prominent son of Ese Odo local government in his speech urged residents to rally behind Governor Aiyedatiwa. He implored everyone to support and vote for Governor Aiyedatiwa.
At each of these places visited, the governor responded with a consistent message of reassurance. He emphasized his administration’s commitment to the needs of every community. “Our traditional institutions remain a top priority for us. We will ensure that your concerns are heard and addressed,” Aiyedatiwa said.
He also addressed the issue of political appointments, stating, “We have appointed many sons and daughters from this region, but more will still be appointed. Every community deserves representation, and we are working to ensure no one is left behind.”
On security, the governor stressed, “Security is my primary duty as governor, and I will continue to prioritize it to safeguard the lives and property of our people.”
Regarding infrastructure and development, he said, “I understand the challenges you’ve raised, especially the sea incursion, education, healthcare, and the need for durable infrastructure. We are working to address these issues comprehensively.”
The governor also urged residents to support his election bid and the APC. “The entire state is united in calling for the continuation of the good work we’ve started. I ask for your votes to ensure we keep moving forward,” he concluded.
