Aiyedatiwa, who swore in the DG and other members of the council at a stakeholders meeting held at the International Culture and Event Centre in Akure on Thursday, called for unity and renewed commitment from members of the APC ahead of the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
The governor emphasised that the party’s strength lies in collective efforts and urged members to intensify grassroots mobilization.
He said, “The party’s strength lies in collective efforts and urged members to intensify grassroots mobilization.”
“This is the third stakeholders’ meeting, and it’s clear that we’ve upheld our promise of inclusivity as a party and as a government.”
He charged members of the council to show commitment and work harder towards ensuring that the party wins the forthcoming governorship poll, stressing that the election victory would require the collective strength of every party member.
“We cannot afford to be complacent; this is the time to redouble our efforts and ensure we deliver victory for the party,” Governor Aiyedatiwa said.

Makinde stated, “I promise that Ondo State will remain in the hands of APC. I am pledging to lead a successful campaign that would consolidate the party’s hold on the state.”
