Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has drummed up support for the All Progressives Congress candidate in Saturday’s Ondo South senatorial bye-election, Prof. Dayo Faduyile, describing him as the most qualified to represent the district in the Senate.

The bye-election was called to fill the vacancy created by the appointment of former senator Jimoh Ibrahim as Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations by President Bola Tinubu.

Speaking at the APC grand finale campaign rally in Okitipupa, Governor Aiyedatiwa, represented by his deputy Dr. Olayide Adelami, urged voters in the district to turn out en masse and elect the party’s candidate.
