The Chairman of the Southern Governors Forum and Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has congratulated Lucky Aiyedatiwa on his swearing-in as the seventh democratically elected Governor of Ondo State.
Abiodun described the occasion as a significant step toward the transformation and prosperity of the state.
In his congratulatory message, Abiodun lauded Aiyedatiwa’s commitment to development and noted that the newly inaugurated governor had already begun laying the foundation for a prosperous Ondo.
He pointed to Aiyedatiwa’s unveiling of plans to boost tourism and investment in the state, particularly the promotion of Araromi Seaside to local and international investors, as evidence of his readiness to unlock Ondo’s potential.
“Even before his resounding victory at the November 16, 2024, governorship election in Ondo State, His Excellency, Mr. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa had left no one in doubt that he is specially made for this time in Ondo State,” Abiodun stated.
The Ogun governor recalled Aiyedatiwa’s time as deputy governor under the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, describing him as a leader with passion and dedication to the state’s progress.
“As deputy governor to the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of blessed memory, the newly inaugurated Governor of Ondo State left no one in doubt about his passion and commitment to the upliftment of Ondo State, and his inauguration as the seventh democratically elected governor of Ondo State definitely marks a glorious dawn for the state.”
Abiodun also expressed confidence in Aiyedatiwa’s ability to lead the state to greater heights, emphasizing his experience in governance and the private sector.
“Together with the Deputy Governor, Dr. Olayide Adelaide, Governor Aiyedatiwa is poised to bring a wealth of experience from the boardroom to usher Ondo State into an era of bountiful democratic dividends.”
On behalf of the Southern Governors Forum, Abiodun extended his best wishes to the new governor and his team, saying,
“On behalf of my colleagues at the Southern Governors Forum, I wish Governor Aiyedatiwa and his team great success in the saddle in Ondo State.”
