Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has described his victory in the recently concluded Ondo State governorship election as a renewed mandate to serve the people and deliver even greater progress.

Aiyedatiwa emerged victorious in the election, which concluded on Sunday, defeating the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Ajayi Agboola, in what was largely a peaceful process.

Speaking to reporters after his declaration as the winner, the governor pledged to bring better days to the residents of the South-West state.

He noted that his campaign tours across the state had deepened his understanding of the people’s needs, reinforcing his commitment to addressing their priorities.

“The people should expect better service. And that’s what they’ve been looking forward to because I campaigned across the entire local government,” he said.

“The only candidate that went through the entire local government, not just the capital city of the local government, all communities. In almost all the communities we visited, we saw the roads and the way they look like, the environment they are living in, we heard their voices, we read their messages and we listened and responded to questions and their yearnings and aspirations.

“So, they have that belief that their hope is in me. They believe that whatever we say is what we will do. We will not tell them what we cannot do. We will do all that we have promised within the limited resources available to us.”
