Ex-IGP's Son, Ehindero, Vows to Prioritise Constituents’ Welfare if Elected

Son of a former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Ife Ehindero, has promised to prioritise the welfare of his constituents if elected in the Saturday by-election in Ondo State.

Ehindero, candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the House of Representatives bye-election into the Akoko North East/Akoko North West Federal Constituency, made the pledge at the grand finale of the campaign of the party held at the Cenotaph ground in Ikare Akoko yesterday.

The APC candidate, who noted that the well-being of the people had always been his desire, said he was prepared to bring in fresh ideas for the growth and development of the federal constituencies.

He explained that the former occupant of the seat, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, who had been appointed as the Minister of Interior by President Bola Tinubu, brought life to the federal constituencies with developmental projects, stressing that he was ready to replicate his hard work if elected.

"No doubt, our people want growth and development and I am ready to prioritised their welfare with fresh ideas. Our programmes are enriched with what would put smile on the faces of our people in the constituencies.

"So, by the grace of God. I am going to win and the winning will be for the benefit our people because the former occupier of the seat did well. I will surely replicate his good work in the National Assembly by attracting development," he said.

Earlier, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who was at the campaign ground with members and stalwarts of the APC led by the State Chairman, Ade Adetimehin, emphasised the importance of collective support for Ehindero ahead of the election exercise.

Aiyedatiwa said the ruling party could not afford to lose the weekend election, noting that grassroots mobilisation was also important in security victory for the APC.

"This is an election that we must all rally and queue behind our candidate on Saturday by ensuring APC wins. Ife Ehindero is our own and he must win," the governor said.
