The Governor expressed appreciation to Vice-President Kashim Shettima, members of the Federal Executive Council, national and state leaders of the All Progressives Congress, party stakeholders, supporters and residents who participated in the rally.

He described the orderly behaviour and peaceful atmosphere at the event as a reflection of the political awareness, unity and democratic spirit of the people of Ondo State.

He urged eligible and registered voters who are yet to collect their Permanent Voter Cards to do so without delay, stressing that a valid PVC is essential for participating in the election.

The Governor also called on residents to turn out en masse on election day and vote for President Tinubu’s second-term bid, as well as all candidates of the All Progressives Congress.
