Aiyedatiwa leads solidarity walk for Tinubu in Ondo
The supporters of the All Progressives Congress in Ondo State on Wednesday staged a solidarity walk to rally support for President Bola Tinubu.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the walk led by the state Governor, Dr. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, was tagged “TinubuDatiwa Half a Million Walk 2027”.
The programme was organised by Kehinde Akinrotoye, former Senior Special Assistant to the governor on Sports, and the Coordinator of TinubuDatiwa Support Group.
Aiyedatiwa, while speaking at the Ondo State Sports Complex, Akure, commended the turnout of APC members and their support for the programme.
The governor said the initiative was a commendable effort, describing it as impressive and encouraging toward the re-election of Tinubu.
According to him, the walk is part of a series of activities lined up by various support groups in the state in preparation for the 2027 general elections.
“This is a healthy initiative put together by one of the support groups here in Ondo State in support of the re-election of President Bola Tinubu.
“It is one of the several activities being organised to mobilise grassroots support ahead of 2027,” he said.
Aiyedatiwa, who described himself as a “foremost patron” of the support groups in the state, noted that his participation underscores his commitment to the cause and solidarity with the organisers.
He expressed delight at the large turnout, which included government officials, civil servants, artisans and civil society members, describing it as a clear demonstration of widespread support.
The governor expressed confidence that with sustained efforts, the state would deliver overwhelming support for the President in 2027.
“By the grace of God, come January 2027, Ondo State will deliver nothing less than one million votes for President Bola Tinubu.
“I am delighted by the massive turnout. People came out voluntarily in the early hours of the day, which also highlights the importance they attach to healthy living.
“Walking and exercise are essential for physical fitness, mental alertness and overall well-being.
“Akure is just a coordinating centre. The real work is at the grassroots, the units, wards and local governments.
“I have advised all coordinators to return to their respective areas and intensify mobilisation efforts,” he said.
The Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, Mr Henry Omoyofunmi, said the programme showed that people were ready for the Renewed Hope initiatives of the ruling party.
“This shows the serious efforts being put in place by the state for the campaign and re-election of President Bola Tinubu,” he said.
In his remarks, the programme coordinator said the walk was designed to galvanise support for the President across the senatorial districts.
“The essence of this walk is to mobilise support for our President across the 18 local governments and the three senatorial districts of Ondo State.
“This Half a Million Man Walk is a testament to the trust and confidence we have in President Bola Tinubu’s leadership and the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“We are committed to this journey, and together, we will succeed,” Akinrotoye said.
