Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on the outcome of the party’s National Convention held in Abuja.

Mr. Aiyedatiwa, who led delegates from Ondo State to the convention, described the exercise as peaceful and well-organised. He noted that the emergence of national officers reflected internal cohesion within the ruling party.

According to a statement issued by his spokesperson, Ebenezer Adeniyan, the Governor also congratulated the party’s National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, and other members of the National Working Committee (NWC), who were returned unopposed.

"The orderly process, spirit of unity and reaffirmation of shared ideals attest to the maturity of our party and the strength of its internal democracy," the governor was quoted in the statement.

He also lauded party stakeholders, including members of the convention planning committee and delegates, for their discipline during the exercise.

The governor added that the convention's outcome reinforces the responsibility of the APC as the governing party to deliver on its mandate under the Tinubu administration.

He said Ondo would continue efforts to strengthen grassroots mobilisation and expand development initiatives across communities.

Aiyedatiwa, however, lauded the delegates from the state for their conduct at the convention.
