A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State and an indigene of Akure, Femi Meshe, has warmly welcomed the Governor of Ondo State, Dr Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, to Akure South Local Government Area as part of his ongoing statewide thank-you tour.

Meshe described Governor Aiyedatiwa as an indefatigable, focused and people-oriented leader whose administration has continued to deliver meaningful development, particularly in Akure South, the state capital and heartbeat of Ondo State.

He noted that since assuming office, the governor has shown uncommon commitment to infrastructural renewal in Akure, with several critical road projects already completed or receiving serious attention.

According to Meshe, the rehabilitation of key township roads, including Odopetu Road, the Iloro–Owe Akala axis and the Alafiatayo–Odole–Odi-Olowo Road, has significantly eased traffic flow and improved the daily lives of residents.

He also commended the governor for the completion of the Oda Road project, describing it as a strategic link that has opened up communities and boosted economic activities within Akure South.

Meshe further highlighted ongoing works along the Ijoka Road corridor and the dualisation of the Akure–Idanre Road, noting that the projects will enhance connectivity, safety and overall urban development in the state capital.

Hailing the governor’s inclusive leadership style, Meshe said the thank-you tour reflects Governor Aiyedatiwa’s humility and appreciation of the overwhelming support the people of Akure have consistently shown him and the All Progressives Congress.

He therefore urged residents of Akure South including youths, market women, artisans, community leaders and party faithful to come out in their numbers to give the governor a rousing and memorable welcome.

“This is a governor who has kept faith with Akure. The visible projects around us speak volumes. The people should come out en masse to celebrate and appreciate an administration that is genuinely working for them,” Meshe said.

He reaffirmed the loyalty and support of Akure South residents for Governor Aiyedatiwa’s administration, expressing confidence that the governor will continue to deliver sustainable development, peace and prosperity for Akure and Ondo State at large”
