Hon.

The campaign, which took place from Thursday, November 7 to Sunday, November 10, 2024, rallied the community’s 10 polling units and unified residents under the banner of the All Progressives Congress (APC), reigniting confidence in Governor Aiyedatiwa’s leadership.
The campaign saw the active involvement of prominent political figures and local stakeholders, including the Ward Chairman, Ward Executives, dedicated party members, and influential political and community leaders. Their participation emphasized the critical importance of Afo’s support for the upcoming election, with a unified call for the re-election of Governor Aiyedatiwa to continue his commitment to inclusive governance and progress.
Throughout the campaign, Hon. Kevin highlighted the Governor’s remarkable track record, emphasizing initiatives that have directly benefited the community. He reassured residents, stating, “Governor Aiyedatiwa has listened to your concerns and acted to address them. Your needs are his priority.” His message resonated deeply with the people, who praised the administration for its responsive and hands-on approach to governance.
Each day of the campaign involved meaningful interactions between Hon. Kevin and the residents, who openly shared their needs and hopes for the future. Hon. Kevin reassured them, saying, “Your requests have been heard, and our Governor is committed to fulfilling them. This is not just a promise; it is a bond of trust we share with you.” His words were met with gratitude and support from the community, which appreciated the administration’s focus on inclusive, community-driven governance.
A key point of pride for the community was the Governor’s appointment of one of their own, Hon. Kevin Olaolu, as SSA on Student Affairs. This move was seen as recognition of Afo’s potential and contributions to Ondo State. “This is a government that values its people, one that has appointed our own to serve at the highest levels. Our loyalty is with APC and Governor Aiyedatiwa because he works with us, not just for us,” said a local resident.
As the campaign continued, the unity within the community grew stronger. Residents pledged to deliver an overwhelming majority for Governor Aiyedatiwa across all 10 polling units, affirming their support for APC. “Voting for Mr. Governor means voting for continued progress. We’ve seen the difference his leadership has made, and we are confident in his ability to lead us forward,” said a youth leader.
The campaign also reached out to local women’s and youth groups, whose leaders expressed gratitude for the administration’s focus on empowerment and sustainable development. Addressing the group, Hon. Kevin noted, “We are building a future where every member of our community has a voice and a stake in our progress. Governor Aiyedatiwa’s vision is one of unity and shared prosperity, and I am here to ensure that Afo remains part of this journey.”
The campaign concluded with a strong show of solidarity from the community. In a powerful declaration, residents pledged, “Our votes will go solely to APC. No other party has shown this level of commitment to us, and we stand firmly behind Governor Aiyedatiwa’s re-election bid.” This proclamation was met with applause and chants of support for Governor Aiyedatiwa and the APC, solidifying the community’s commitment to the party.
Hon. Kevin Olaolu’s house-to-house campaign has not only reinforced the political strength of Ward 1 but has also inspired a renewed sense of hope and unity among the people, who are eager to continue their journey of development under APC’s leadership. As the election approaches, the unity displayed in Afo stands as a testament to the enduring bond between Governor Aiyedatiwa, his administration, and the community he has empowered.
