Chairman of the Southern Governors Forum, SGF, and Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has congratulated Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa on his inauguration as the seventh democratically elected governor of Ondo State.
In a statement, Prince Abiodun described the occasion as the beginning of a new chapter in the state’s development, expressing confidence in Aiyedatiwa’s ability to drive transformative progress under the All Progressives Congress, APC administration.
He commended the governor’s early initiatives, particularly his plans connected to boosting tourism and attracting investments, citing the recent unveiling of Araromi Seaside’s potential to local and international investors as a testament to his commitment to unlocking Ondo State’s economic opportunities.
“Even before his resounding victory in the November 16, 2024, governorship election, His Excellency, Mr. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, had demonstrated his readiness to lead Ondo State into a new era of prosperity,” Abiodun stated.
“As Deputy Governor to the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of blessed memory, he displayed unwavering dedication to the development of the state. His inauguration marks a significant moment for Ondo, signalling a renewed drive for progress and good governance.”
Governor Abiodun further highlighted the experience and leadership capabilities of Aiyedatiwa and the deputy governor, Dr Olayide Adelami, noting that their background in governance and the private sector positions them well to deliver democratic dividends to the people of Ondo State.
“On behalf of my colleagues at the Southern Governors Forum, I extend my best wishes to Governor Aiyedatiwa and his team for a successful tenure,” he added.
