A group known as Odatiwa Women Wing has declared support for Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State to emerge as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the forthcoming governorship primary.
Mrs Olamide Falana, the convener of the group, made this known at the group’s inaugural meeting on Wednesday in Akure.
Falana, who is the Special Adviser to the governor on Gender, said that the group was rooting for the governor “to ensure continuity of his commendable efforts.”
According to her, the women believe in the quality of leadership shown by Ayedatiwa in the short time he has taken over the reins of government in the state.
The special adviser said that the essence of the meeting was to strategise on how to ensure massive victory for Aiyedatiwa, with the help of women across the 18 local government areas of the state.
“We are here today, the meeting of eminent women leaders across the 18 local government areas of the state to talk about our strategies for pushing, supporting and ensuring the overall victory of Ayedatiwa at the coming elections.
“We believe strongly in his leadership, we believe that he has all it takes to continue to lead us in the state, he has demonstrated unparalleled, unrivalled loyalty to his former principal.
“He has demonstrated unparalleled patience and calmness, he has shown the deep gentleness and leadership tenets that we need in a state like ours, he has shown his readiness to work and of course, he’s already working,” she said.
