Ondo State Governor, Dr Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has said that President Bola Tinubu economic reforms has led to increase in revenue accruing to the states.
Governor Aiyedatiwa said the increaed revenue made it easier for Governors to embark on more developmental projects for the people.
Aiyedatiwa, who declared support for President Tinubu’s re-election in 2027, said states no longer borrow to finance projects or pay salaries.
He spoke coordinators of The Lucky Guy paid him a courtesy visit in Akure.
The Ondo Governor said the people of Ondo State would give maximum support to the re-election of President Tinubu in 2027.
He thanked President Tinubu for enabling states to pursue developmental projects through increased fiscal capacity.
Governor Aiyedatiwa Ondo State has witneseed unprecedented federal presence and support, including infrastructural projects and appointments under the Renewed Hope administration of Mr. President,
“We are happy with the increase in federal presence here in Ondo State since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed office. The support given to our State by the federal government in the last two years has been unprecedented.
“We have the dualisation of Ore-Ondo-Akure road, establishment of Federal University of Technology Teaching Hospital, construction of Lagos/Calabar Coastal Highway passing through Ondo State, giving us an avaition institution and several political appointments for sons and daughters of Ondo State.
“With these and many more, we have no reason as a state not to give our utmost support to the re-election of Mr. President in 2027.
“You will recall that Ondo was among the states that give him the highest vote percentage in 2023 with 69percent of the total votes. This time around, in 2027, we are ready to do much more than that”, the Governor said.
Governor Aiyedatiwa, who further commended the group for their innovation, dedication, and intellectual engagement in the state’s development journey, urged the members to remain sincere, loyal, and truthful in their dealings, while working as ambassadors of progress in their respective communities.
“I am impressed with your passion and intellect. What you have started is not just about supporting a person, but about pushing for a better Ondo State. As you carry this message to the people, I urge you to do so with sincerity, loyalty, and truthfulness,” he said.
The Governor expressed confidence in the group’s potential to contribute meaningfully to governance through public sensitization, unity, and strategic support.
He, however, urged members of the group to mobilise more people to join the All Progressives Congress (APC), especially at the grassroots, ahead of the next general elections.
