The Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has been commended for his role as Grand Patron of the Tinubu/Datiwa Half-Million Walk and other pro-Tinubu support groups in the state.
The Ondo State Coordinator of the Tinubu/Datiwa Half a Million Walk, Hon. Kehinde Akinrotoye (Bonsue), made this known during an interview with journalists in Akure, the state capital.
Akinrotoye, the immediate past Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Sports, expressed delight at the governor’s decision to identify with the Tinubu/Datiwa movement as its Grand Patron.
According to him, as the number one citizen of the state, the governor is naturally positioned to lead and support all groups working towards the second-term bid of President Bola Tinubu in Ondo State.
While appreciating the people of Ondo State for coming out en masse during the just-concluded Half-Million Walk, Akinrotoye disclosed that the Tinubu/Datiwa support structure would be expanded across all 18 local government areas of the state and extended to other South-West states, including Lagos, Oyo, Osun, Ogun, and Ekiti.
He further explained that the Half a Million Walk would be staged across the three senatorial districts and beyond as part of efforts to mobilise grassroots support for the president’s re-election. The initiative, he said, was formally launched in Akure.
Plans are underway to extend the mobilisation to the Southern and Northern senatorial districts, federal constituencies, 203 political wards, and 3,933 polling units, with coordinators to be inaugurated across the state in due course.
Akinrotoye added that the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, led by Governor Aiyedatiwa, has approved the statewide rollout of the walk ahead of the January 2027 general elections.
“We will continue to promote the achievements of President Bola Tinubu through the Tinubu/Datiwa support group to enable us achieve our target of 95 percent of the votes,” he said.
