The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State has called on other political parties to approach their campaigns with maturity ahead of the Nov.16 governorship election in the state.
The state Publicity Secretary of APC, Mr Alex Kalejaiye, made the call in a statement on Sunday in Akure.
He said the call reflected the belief of Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the APC candidate, in the importance of promoting peaceful campaigning for the benefit of the state.
Kalejaiye stated that the ruling party was worried about the prevalence of falsehoods and a lack of decency displayed by some political parties in recent times.
“The rhetorics and behaviour of certain party leaders clearly indicate a troubling level of desperation. Such conduct is detrimental to peace and development.
“We must not sacrifice facts, discipline, and respect for our citizens’ sensibilities for political gain.
“The Sunshine State is fortunate to have a governor and candidate who embodies inclusiveness and unity, showing respect for all stakeholders.
“Aiyedatiwa prioritises the state’s interests over personal ambitions, demonstrating a genuine commitment to the development of our land and its people. He serves as a model for others.
“He is actively campaigning, visiting wards and local government areas with dignity. This sets a standard for all participants in the electoral process.
“We hope that voters will carefully assess all candidates and place their trust in reliable and dependable leadership,” he stated.
Kalejaiye said that Aiyedatiwa had illustrated that the government should prioritise the welfare and security of people; the stimulation of the local economy; and essential infrastructure development.
He assured the people that an APC-led government under Aiyedatiwa would go above and beyond to earn and justify the people’s trust if elected on Nov.16. (NAN).
