Ahead of Saturday’s Ondo South senatorial by-election, Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa campaigns for the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Prof. Dayo Faduyile. Reporting from multiple outlets says Aiyedatiwa, speaking at APC campaign activities, urges residents of the district to vote for Faduyile, describing him as the most qualified to represent Ondo South in the Senate. The coverage highlights Faduyile’s background as a former president of the Nigeria Medical Association, with Aiyedatiwa and other APC officials citing his experience, intellect, and leadership qualities.
Nigerian Eye adds that the by-election follows the appointment of former senator Jimoh Ibrahim as Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations. It also notes that Aiyedatiwa campaigned through his deputy, Dr. Olayide Adelami, at the APC final campaign rally in Okitipupa. Across the reports, Aiyedatiwa and APC party figures call for voters to maintain peaceful conduct during the election, and they frame the candidacy as a way to sustain the district’s history of strong representation. The outlets also mention APC officials expressing confidence in continued support for the party at higher levels of elections.
