From Bamigbola Gbolagunte, Akure
A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Hon Olaolu Kelvin (KSO), has charged the new Governor of the state, Hon Lucky Aiyedatiwa to hit the ground running and continue with the programmes of his predecessor, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu.
The APC leader who was a former House of Assembly aspirant in Ose state constituency, enjoined the Governor to serve the people of the state with all consciousness and fear of God.
While congratulating Aiyedatiwa on his emergence as the Governor of the state, Kelvin said the Governor should see his emergence as an act of God.
“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 aggrandisement. Your emergence is a major pointer that politics today is tilting towards meritocracy and democratisation.
“Your Predecessor slogan is “TALK and DO” one 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 board should make the task a bit easy for you and we hope that you will use this goodwill to make Ondo 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. he work starts now!!!! It’s time to write your name in gold,” Kelvin added.
