adsThe Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, has called on residents and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State to turn out in large numbers for the forthcoming presidential direct primary election, describing it as critical to ensuring that President Bola Tinubu returns to the office to continue the good work he has started in the country.

Olawande, who spoke in an interview with journalists on Friday, however, said he is committed to working with other party leaders and stakeholders in the state to ensure the re-election of President Tinubu, citing what he described as “visible developmental strides” and increased federal presence in Ondo State.

“The achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu speak for themselves, and Ondo State has been a direct beneficiary of his commitment to national development,” Olawande said.

He highlighted several ongoing federal interventions and infrastructure projects in the state, including the dualisation of the Akure–Ore Road, the Akure–Ado Road project, the establishment of a teaching hospital institution in Akure, and support for the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) Teaching Hospital, among other federal initiatives.
