Only Akeredolu has intellectual capacity to make Ondo great – Okorocha

The Governor of Imo State, Chief Rochas Okorocha, has appealed to the people from South East geopolitical zone living in Ondo State to cast their votes en mass for the candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the November 26 election in the State, Rotimi Akeredolu.
Speaking on Tuesday when the campaign train of Akeredolu visited Igbo traders at motor spare parts market at the Popular Ilesa Garage, Akure, the state capital, Okorocha said only Akeredolu possesses the intellectual capacity and erudition that can move Ondo State forward among the egghead of aspirants slugging it out for the governorship seat.
Okorocha, who is the Chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum, said Ondo State will be at a loss if Akeredolu is rejected for any of his opponents, stressing that the only aim of the former President of the Nigeria Bar Association is to serve and develop the state.
In his words: “I am here today to tell you where to go and as your leader and grand patron, I am sure you will take to my order.
“Come next Saturday, your vote should go for APC and Akeredolu.
“Don’t vote to bring PDP back to power.
“Also, this new party making noise, please jettison it.
“It has nothing to offer.
“Its mission is to loot, steal and under-develop you.
“The only man that can make you laugh is Akeredolu, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria.
“Let me tell you, Ondo people will be the one to lose if Akeredolu is not elected governor.
“I am saying this because only him has the integrity and credibility to deliver.
“If you don’t want to cry for the next four years, Akeredolu is the solution.
“If you want good roads and you want your market to be renovated, Akeredolu is the way.
“Today’s visit is preliminary.
“I will be around this Saturday with President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Please troop out to welcome Mr President.
“Join the change train, don’t be an enemy of change.”
In his speech, Akeredolu promised to construct a motor spare part village for the Igbo dealers if elected.
He urged them to live in peace and harmony with their hosts, stating that if he wins, his government will not discriminate against the non-indigenes in the state.
He also promised to appoint non-indigenes into positions to serve as Liaison officers between them and the government.
