Olaolu Kelvin (KSO), a notable figure within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, has warned the newly appointed governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, to prioritise public interests over personal and familial interests.
In a message, Kelvin emphasised the importance of new Ondo state chief executive continuing the initiatives and projects initiated by the former governor, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu.
He praised the democratic process that led to Aiyedatiwa’s appointment, citing it as a testament to the state’s democratic principles and the influence of divine providence.
He urged Aiyedatiwa to strive for a notable and positive impact that resonates across Ondo State, emphasising the expectation of inclusive representation for all constituents.
The APC chieftain encouraged Aiyedatiwa to use this opportunity to leave a lasting legacy, affirming that the time to initiate positive change for the state begins now.
His words: “Your victory is a victory for all irrespective of political tussle which might have happened before now, it shows that the hand of the Almighty God is truly on our dear state.
“May your renowned brilliance not be eclipsed by greed and quest for selfish and personal aggrandizement. Your emergence is a major pointer that politics today is tilting towards meritocracy and democratization.
“Your Predecessor slogan is “TALK and DO” which encapsulates the whole yearning of the masses and we expect that you will hit the ground running as you face this daunting task.
“The task ahead is enormous but the fact that you have goodwill from across the board should make the task a bit easy for you and we hope that you will use this goodwill to make Ondo State proud of you.
“Let your word be your bond. Let there be a positive difference seen and felt across the state. We want to respectfully remind you that you are here to represent everyone, not your zone or family members.
“We urge you to dare to be different. A lot of trust and confidence has been bestowed upon you and we expect that you do not disappoint.
“Once again, congratulations and thanks for your tenacity, steadfastness and consistent courage. The work starts now. It’s time to write your name in gold.”
