Akeredolu, wife in panic mood, appeal for votes after losing Ondo to PDP
This is in an apparent panic mood, after the loss of the Presidential election to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and most of National Assembly seats in the state to other parties.
According to Akeredolu, who spoke via state owned media channels, the election should be seen as a family affair, particularly for the residents of the state, in order to avoid rancour free administration between the executive and the legislature. “My good people of Ondo State, I know you are aware of the next round of elections fixed for 9th March, 2019 by the Independent National Electoral Commission . This is another very important exercise; local political leaders are going to be chosen to represent our people as governor and at the house of assembly.
“Citizens of this state, who are of Yoruba, Igbo, Ebira, Hausa, Oyo and Edo extraction, as well as other minority ethnic groups, should feel free to participate in the exercise as members of this large and heterogeneous family. I appeal, passionately, that we cast aside all divisive and primordial sentiments. Ondo State is our primary place of domicile. Our allegiance to her must be unalloyed.
