Speaking at the rally, the Chairman of the National Caretaker Committee of the party, Gov. Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State, urged people of Ondo not to allow anyone to truncate the developmental strides of the Akeredolu administration.
He stated that APC was known for progress and development across all human endeavours.
Also Speaking, Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, who serves as the Chairman of the National Campaign Committee for Ondo State, stated that Akeredolu had brought about real development across the state.
Sanwo-Olu described Akeredolu as progressive minded, saying he must be allowed to spend a second term in office for the betterment of the state.
In his own remarks, Gov. Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti said that Akeredolu had done a lot, adding that there was no place in the state that had not felt the impact of the developmental strides of the Akeredolu-led government.

While affirming that all the promises of Akeredolu have been fulfilled, Fayemi gave assurance that all APC members were solidly behind Akeredolu’s re-election.
