Deji Of Akure Hails Governor Akeredolu, Claims He Has Done More In Ondo

The paramount ruler of Akure kingdom has said that Governor Akeredolu has fulfilled his promises to the people of Akure kingdom.

Rotimi Akeredolu, the Ondo State Governor, further stated that he’s proof that not all politicians are liars.

He also vowed that upon re-election for another term in office, the state capital of Akure will be connected to the global economy.

Ondo will decide on its governor on Saturday, October 10, 2020.

More so, the Paramount Ruler of Akure Kingdom, Oba Ogunlade Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi has defined the governor as a noiseless achiever, saying; “I never knew he could perform meritoriously as he did despite the bogus debts he inherited from his predecessor.”

Oba Aladelusi of Akure Kingdom also defined Akeredolu as a man that is too frank and sincere for the political system in Nigeria, adding that “a straightforward man like you can only be encouraged by what tomorrow will say about your today.”

While hosting the governor and his campaign team in his palace on Tuesday, October 6, 2020, the monarch announced that Akeredolu has redeemed his promises to the people of Akure kingdom, adding that “whoever says Governor Akeredolu has not performed, particularly in Akure would only be lying.”

“When Governor Akeredolu assumed office amidst inherited debts running into billions, many people thought he wouldn’t perform.

“I wrote him off myself because he inherited a scaring debt. He inherited six months of unpaid salaries but today, he has almost completely paid all the arrears.

“I want to say without any fear or favour that our governor is too honest, frank and straightforward for the Nigerian political environment. People like you only work for tomorrow, not today.

“Anyone that says Mr.Talk and Do didn’t perform in Akure is only lying. His work is all over the place. I never knew he could do much. But to my surprise, what he has done is even more than what those who met a surplus did.

“Anyone that loves Akure and believes in Akure, I will always love. Mr. Governor is the architect of modern Akure.

“Our hospital that has been long abandoned is now wearing a new look courtesy of this Talk and Do Governor. He’s almost dualizing the whole of Akure. Aketi has done very well and he has appointed our people into government,” the King said.

In his remarks, Governor Akeredolu stated that he didn’t join politics to make money but to proof that not all political actors are liars, hence his resolve to always do what is right, and not what is good.

“You have convinced me beyond any doubt, that you love this Akure. You made a case that for many years at the federal level, Akure has nothing. But today, we are happy that the minister from Ondo State is from Akure.

“We thank You. Akure is our state capital. And it is important that we work here. And we will do more. We have a college of medicine here. We are building a 500-bed hospital in Akure. Please support us to continue this work.

“By the grace of God, Akure will be connected to the global economy before I leave government. I want to prove that not all politicians are liars and I have proven that. I will never betray my belief.

“I will continue to do what is right, and not what is good. Like I do say, I want history to be kind to me.

“By the grace of God, Akure has been designed to be connected to the global economy and we will do that. Akure airport is already designated as an international cargo airport. That will soon happen. We will construct Igbatoro road. Akure will be more modernized in our second term”, Akeredolu said.

Governor Akeredolu was accompanied by the immediate past Governor of Ogun State and Senator Representing Ogun Central Senatorial District, Ibikunle Amosun, Minister of State for Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Donald Tayo Alasoadura, Niyi Akintola SAN, Director-General of the Akeredolu/Aiyedatiwa Campaign Organisation, Rt. Hon. Victor Olabimtan, among others.
