The Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has called on residents to withhold their support for the All Progressives Congress candidate in the forthcoming governorship election.
The opposition party accused the APC’s candidate and incumbent governor, Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, of squandering a significant amount of public funds on frivolous activities during his 10 months in office.
This allegation was made in a statement issued by the state’s PDP Publicity Secretary, Mr Kennedy Peretei, on Monday, titled, ‘Ondo State is Not Lucky with Aiyedatiwa (7)’.
The PDP statement read, “The people have scrutinised Mr. Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s 10 months as governor, and the verdict is a resounding failure. On July 22, 2024, more than N35 billion was approved for asphalt overlay of roads in four Akoko Local Government Areas, Ose, Owo, Ilaje, Idanre, Ondo, and Akure regions. Three months later, these roads remain in the same condition as before the contracts were awarded.
However, the Ondo State APC has dismissed the PDP’s allegations describing it as baseless and untrue.
