Governor Aiyedatiwa expressed gratitude to the party leaders in Ondo Kingdom for uniting to endorse and support him ahead of the gubernatorial election.

He said: “I want to thank you all for what you did today that I am the one that you want to continue to be your Governor beyond 2025, I want you to know that I am not taking this for granted and you will not be disappointed.

“Today, the State is very peaceful, the people are happy even when we have some hardship in the country; it is not peculiar to our state, it is all over the nation because of the resetting that President Bola Tinubu has embarked upon and I want to tell you that this current hardship we are facing right now is just a matter of time because very soon all the programmes and policies that are being put in place both at the Federal and State levels would begin to yield results.”
