Hon Kelvin who assured Aiyedatiwa of the support of all the students of the state, said Governor Aiyedatiwa has performed creditably well to the satisfaction of the students within his short period in office.

Kelvin who said the students have resolved to support the Governor, stated that as a loyal party man, he stands firmly with the APC and its candidate in the November governorship election.
His words “Governor Aiyedatiwa’s achievements in the critical sectors of the state’s economy are endearing and we are convinced that it needs to be sustained.
“His performances have endeared him to major stakeholders in the state and the endorsement by traditional rulers across the state is an indication that those that matter in the state are solidly behind him. The Obas say he deserves another term because under him, the economic potential of the state has greatly improved.
“Governor Aiyedatiwa’s impacts cam also be felt in the areas of infrastructure, rural development, commerce, agriculture, education and youth development among others.
“He has met with the students union leaders and listened to their plights. Works are currently ongoing on their demands, he has directed us to continually engage the student community to enhance their welfare and academic support. Besides, he has started the recruitment of 2,000 workers in the academic sector and at the same time, he has recruited people at the Ondo State Revenue Service.
“The most important thing is that he did not stop the legacy started by the late governor. He directed all the contractors to go back to sites.
“He merits support because of the stability within the political system and the peace and tranquilly that have enveloped the state since his emergence after the death of the former Governor, He has continued to give all stakeholders the needed support. He is indeed the best man for the job and that’s why we are supporting him,” he added
