Members and leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Owo, Owo local government area of Ondo have promised to reward the loyalty of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, in the forthcoming primary of the party coming up on Saturday.

At the Olowo palace, the traditional ruler, Oba Oba Gbadegesin Ogunoye, who endorsed the aspiration of Aiyedatiwa said the community would support him for being loyal to Akeredolu and Owo community.
He described Aiyedatiwa as an astute administrator who has been running a seamless governance since becoming Governor.
The monarch said “Since your tenure as Deputy Governor of Ondo State, you have shown your love for Owo.
“You did not only show loyalty to your former principal, you have been sustaining his legacies.
“The people of Owo have no option than to support you to continue as Governor of Ondo.”
The Governor had earlier visited Ifon, headquarters of Ose local government area, where a large crowd of party leaders and members welcomed the Governor’s campaign train.
