President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, on his fresh term in office.
Aiyedatiwa, who succeeded former governor, late Rotimi Akeredolu, was sworn in on Monday in Akure after his victory at the November 2024 Governorship Election.
Congratulating the newly sworn-in governor in a statement issued by his spokesman, Mr Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu urged the governor to use his mandate to serve the people of the state and build upon the legacy of his predecessor, the late Gov. Rotimi Akeredolu.
“I congratulate you on your successful inauguration today for a new term of office after an outstanding run in the last governorship election in Ondo State.
“You have the rare privilege to succeed your illustrious predecessor, who worked for the growth and development of the state and advanced the progress of Nigeria as a whole,” Tinubu said.
The President further urged Aiyedatiwa to work in the best interest of the people of Ondo State and the nation.
“I will be your partner in progress to usher in a new era of prosperity to the people of Ondo State,” Tinubu added.
