Ondo indegenes in Lagos adopt Akeredolu

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”.
