A
group of Ondo State indigenes in Lagos known as “Ondo Action Congress
of Nigeria (ACN)”, Lagos chapter, has thrown its weight behind one of
the governorship aspirants, Mr Olurotimi Akeredolu (SAN).
Speaking
to newsmen in Lagos, its coordinator, Oyedele Ojapinwa, and the Public
Relations Officer, Mr. Murphy Adamolekun, said that Akeredolu has
enviable credentials.
Praising
the intelligence, courage, vsion of the leadership of the party, its
National Leader Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the National Chairman , Chief
Bisi Akande, the group said the legal luminary is a wonderful product
that will be acceptable to the people.
The
group said “ Opposition parties can only ignore or underrate this
focused, visionary and indomitable legal practitioner at their peril”.
They
argued that with over 30 highly qualified and credible aspirants who
have distinguished themselves in their various callings expressing
interest to be the flag bearer of the ACN shows that it is the most
popular party in the state.
“For
the avoidance of doubt, it should be noted that Akeredolu emerged
through a rigorous, complex and transparent selection process that
involves a lot of stages and methods. For the indefatigable legal
luminary to have emerged from among this highly qualified and
illustrious Nigerians of Ondo State extraction for that matter speaks
volume.
“The
giant strides, excellent culture and carefully coordinated regional
integration and synergy as demonstrated by the ACN Governments of
Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) of Lagos, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola of Osun,
Senator Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun, Dr.Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti, Senator
Abiola Ajumobi of Oyo and the indomitable Comrade Governor Adams
Oshiomole of Edo State (who has just made a fundamental statement that
power belongs to the people), were partly due to the exemplary
leadership of the party in fielding the best candidates for elections.
“Ondo
State cannot afford to be excluded from the ongoing monumental all
round Regional Integration and Development. Ondo State is too key and
strategic to either stay aloof or move in opposite direction. We in Ondo
State are true children and followers of the father of progressive
politics in Nigeria, the late sage Chief Obafemi Awolowo as epitomized
in the current leader of progressive politics in Nigeria Asiwaju Bola
Ahmed Tinubu. We are no traitors, we are no betrayals, we are no fools.
And never shall we be”, the group vowed.
It
called on all stakeholders in the “Ondo Project 2012” to join hands with
ACN and the God-ordained candidate, Akeredolu, in leading Ondo state
like, the biblical Joshua to the promise land that will become the envy
of other states in Nigeria”.
