<h2>The Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has said his predecessor, the late Rotimi Akeredolu, had wanted him to be the next governor.</h2>
<p>The governor stated this at a meeting with the officials and the members of Lucky Aiyedatiwa Campaign Organisation Foot Soldiers in Akure on Saturday.</p>
<p>He noted that his ambition to contest for governorship position was beyond the mandate of his joint ticket with the late Akeredolu but a sincere mission to transform Ondo State and uplift the standard of living of the people.</p>
<p>Aiyedatiwa also expressed his confidence in winning the governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in April and the forthcoming governorship election in November.</p>
<p>He said, “<em>My supporters should continue working and never doubt as my coming victory in the primary and general elections are the promise of God.</em></p>
<p><em>“My emergence as governor is what my late boss, Governor Akeredolu wanted. A lot of people don’t really know Akeredolu, they don’t know that he was a prophet.</em></p>
<p><em>“There was a time after he (Akeredolu) returned from a medical vacation that he told the cabinet members during an executive council meeting that ‘Look, Aiyedatiwa will emerge as the next governor.</em>”</p>
<p>In his remarks, the LACO-FS Convener, Dr. Oladipupo Okeyomi, disclosed that over 250,000 campaigners code-named ‘Foot Soldiers’ had been positioned across the 18 local government areas of Ondo State, to secure victory for Aiyedatiwa in the primary and the major election.</p>
