Leaders and elders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, operating under the banner of Ondo APC Aborigines, have announced the establishment of a comprehensive vote mobilization initiative ahead of the November governorship election.
A 10-man committee has been set up in each of the 18 local government areas across the state. Additionally, a five-man committee has been designated for each polling unit and ward.
The primary objective of the committees is to secure a total of 200,000 votes for the APC’s candidate, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Ambassador Olusola Iji, coordinator of the Ondo APC Aborigines, detailed the plan during the inauguration ceremony held in Akure. He stated that the committees will operate independently from the party’s official campaign council.
He also said the committees are tasked with ensuring that each polling unit achieves a target of 55 votes for the APC on Election Day.
“Our goal is to mobilize 55 voters per polling unit. We have established five-member canvassing teams at the ward and unit levels, each responsible for persuading 10 voters to support our party.
“We are committed to independently campaigning for Aiyedatiwa and implementing structures to mobilize registered voters effectively,” Ambassador Iji stated.
Ambassador Iji expressed confidence that the 200,000 votes secured by the Aborigine canvassers would be instrumental in leading Governor Aiyedatiwa to victory.
He acknowledged the complexity of the task ahead but reiterated their commitment to executing their strategy diligently.
Meanwhile, students of Ondo State origin have pledged their unwavering support for Governor Aiyedatiwa in the forthcoming election.
The students conveyed their support through the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Students Affairs, Honourable Kelvin Olaolu Solomon.
Honourable Solomon assured Aiyedatiwa of the full backing of all students in the state, emphasizing that the governor has performed admirably to the satisfaction of the student body during his tenure.
