The campaign fortunes of the 26 candidates of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the Ondo State House of Assembly in the forthcoming elections have received a major boost as the State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, on Tuesday, donated 26 buses branded "Ondo for Buhari" to the candiates.
The Seinna Spacewagon bus which was given to each of the 26 candidates were meant to aid their campaigns.
Addressing the candidates at the Buhari/Osinbajo Situation Office in Akure, Governor Akeredolu said the victory of all the candidates of APC, beginning with that of President Muhammadu Buhari, through the National Assembly to the State Legislature must be resounding.
While saying that the candidates must not allow for any laxity as an excuse for electoral loss, Arakunrin Akeredolu charged the candidates to redouble their efforts in their respective constituencies by winning handsomely for the APC.
The governor said the House of Assembly candidates must justify their closeness to the grassroots to mobilise every legible voter to ensure that the President and candidates of the party win in the rescheduled elections so as to make their elections on the 9th March a total triumph for APC.
The governor enjoined the candidates to work with the party leadership and report any slightest threat to the success of the party at the polls to the Election room for appropriately legitimate actions.
In his remarks, the State Chairman of APC, Engineer Ade Adetimehin appreciated Arakunrin Akeredolu for his unequalled support for candidates of the APC in the state.
The APC State Chairman who advised all candidates of the party not to keep to themselves any potential areas of challenge to the success of the party in the election said with the all-round support made available to them ahead of the election by Governor Akeredolu, the candidates have no reason not to secure a landslide victory for APC in their respective constituencies in all the elections.
To demonstrate their joy and appreciation to the governor, the highly elated candidates sang different political songs to hail the party and the governor.
