Former Attorney General of the Federation and Justice Minister, Prince Adetokunbo Kayode, SAN, has congratulated Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo state on his decisive victory at the just concluded APC primaries for the 2024 governorship election in Ondo State.
In a statement made available to newsmen in Akure on Tuesday, the former minister advised Aiyedatiwa to look forward to the general election with confidence while building bridges for the inevitable victory.
Prince Kayode tasked Governor Aiyedatiwa to use the remaining months of the present tenure to get together a solid nonpartisan team to put in place a Development Plan for the progress of Ondo State.
He said, “Our State currently lacks a roadmap that can take it to the promised land”.
He tasked the governor to look beyond party lines to draw to his side, young and brilliant indigenes who would be of immense benefit to the administration and the development of Ondo State. After elections, the task of developing the state does not lie with an individual or a political party.
“I congratulate a compatriot, friend, and the incumbent governor of Ondo state, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Ayedatiwa for clinching the ticket of APC. No doubt, the party has displayed a total commitment to the ethos of democracy and embraced fairness.
“The time is now for the candidate to reconcile all factions and “tendencies” within the party. This is the time to form a common front for victory and good governance.
