The Ilaje Development Summit Group (IDSG) has advised Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State to prioritise critical sectors for rapid and sustainable development of the state.

The President of IDGS, Rev. Adesola Adebawo, gave the advice in a congratulatory message to the governor following his victory in Saturday’s governorship election on Tuesday in Akure.

“As we look forward, we are confident that Mr Governor’s administration will prioritise critical sectors such as infrastructure development, job creation and sustainable economic growth.

“By harnessing the untapped human and natural resources across Ondo, we believe we can make significant strides toward achieving economic prosperity not only for our state but for Nigeria as a whole.

“This victory is more than a political triumph; it represents a renewed promise of progress, prosperity, and inclusiveness for all citizens,” Adebawo said.

The IDGS president appreciated people of the state for their unwavering support to the governor, stating that re-electing him was a resounding affirmation of the values of justice, equity and unity that the people of the state held together.

“This momentous achievement was made possible by the collective efforts and resilience of the people across all the 18 local government areas, who came out in significant numbers to cast their votes for progress, inclusivity and positive change.

“Your faith in a brighter future has been the cornerstone of this victory and we are sincerely grateful for the confidence you have placed in Gov. Aiyedatiwa to lead our beloved state into a new era of growth and sustainable development,” he said.

He also extended appreciation to traditional rulers in the state for their invaluable support throughout the electioneering journey.

According to him, the strategic leadership, dedication and commitment to the principles of fairness and equity of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have significantly contributed to the victory.

Adebawo also acknowledged President Bola Tinubu for his visionary leadership and commitment to justice, which he said paved way for the party’s success in the election.

“This victory is a fulfillment of the aspirations of the Ilaje people and a testament to what could be achieved when leaders prioritise the collective good.
“We also recognise the contributions of the elders of Ondo State whose wisdom, counsel and advocacy have guided us throughout this journey,” he said.

He solicited the support of all indigenes of the state to rally behind the governor and unite in a collective quest for a prosperous and inclusive future.

“This is our chance to build a state where every citizen has the opportunity to thrive and where our shared dreams can be realised through hard work, dedication and unity.

“Today, we stand together knowing that with a common vision and purpose, there are no limits to what we can accomplish.
“Let this victory serve as a symbol of hope and a powerful testament to the strength of our unity,” Adebawo said. (NAN)
