In a bid to rally support for Ondo State’s incumbent Governor, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, in the upcoming governorship election, Hon. Dr. Stephen Omobamidele Agbi, the Special Assistant to the Governor on Mobilisation, led members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akoko North West Local Government on a "1 Million March" solidarity walk.
Dr. Agbi, a prominent figure from Arigidi-Akoko, described the event as an awareness initiative to remind the community of the governor’s achievements and to strengthen local support for his re-election. Speaking to journalists, Dr. Agbi, who also serves as Deputy National Chairman (South) of the Consolidated APC Grassroots Movement, emphasized the importance of unifying APC members and urged citizens to back Aiyedatiwa’s administration beyond 2025.
“We need to support Governor Aiyedatiwa so he can complete his developmental projects and policies that are already benefiting Ondo State,” Dr. Agbi stated, calling on the people to turn out in large numbers on November 16 to secure Aiyedatiwa's victory.
Hon. Olumide Olugbenga Araoyinbo, a former leader of the Ondo State House of Assembly, expressed optimism about APC’s chances, citing the large turnout as a sign of strong support in Akoko North West. Similarly, Hon. Gani Muhammed, the Governor’s Special Adviser on Special Duties and Strategy, encouraged citizens to vote for continuity and described the march as a celebration ahead of what he anticipates as an APC victory.
Also advocating for Aiyedatiwa’s re-election, Hon. Ogunmilade Felix, former chairman of Akoko North West LGA, highlighted the importance of maintaining a government focused on delivering democratic dividends, particularly to underserved rural areas.
Dr. Agbi noted, “The solidarity walk is not just for APC members but for all residents and citizens of the local government,” underlining that support for the governor extends beyond party lines.
The march saw mobilization across the 10 wards within the local government and drew notable leaders and APC stakeholders, including Hon. Charles Babalola, Hon. Cyril Olutayo Egunlayi, Hon. Mrs. Aiyegbusi, and Hon. Chris Olorunfemi, all of whom hold positions supporting the governor.
Additional attendees included Hon. Jackson, former assistant to a House of Representatives member, Hon. Taofik Mohammed, LCDA Transition Committee Chairman of Irun/Ogbagi, and Hon. Olatunbosun Adebayo, Public Relations Officer for APC in Akoko North West.
With the show of unity and enthusiasm at the "1 Million March," APC leaders are hopeful for a decisive win for Governor Aiyedatiwa in the upcoming election.
