The Minister of Interior, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has called on the people of Ondo State to unite and speak with one voice in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
Tunji-Ojo, who was represented by Chief Muyiwa Asagunla, made the call in a goodwill message at the well-attended programme marking the defection of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Social Democratic Party (SDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akure.
The minister, who facilitated the mass defection, commended President Tinubu for the ongoing infrastructural projects in the state, including the dualisation of the Ore-Akure Road, the Ilesha–Akure–Benin Road, and the Akure–Ado-Ekiti Road, as well as the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway which passes through Ondo State.
He described these projects and other reforms initiated by the President as laudable, stressing that such developmental efforts must be sustained beyond 2027.
Receiving the decampees on behalf of the National Chairman of the APC, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, and the Ondo State Governor, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the State Chairman of the party, Mr. Ade Adetimehin, welcomed the new members into what he described as a party “with enough room to accommodate all.”
Adetimehin lauded President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, noting that its impact has been positively felt across Ondo State. He urged the people to continue supporting the President’s administration to ensure the continuation of his good works.
He assured the new members of equal opportunities in the party, adding that the APC remains committed to inclusiveness and progress for all members.
