According to him, the Supreme Court’s ruling provides a fresh opportunity for Governor Aiyedatiwa to fully concentrate on governance and the implementation of his developmental agenda across the state without the distractions of prolonged litigation.
He emphasized that the verdict is not just a personal triumph for the Governor but also a unifying moment for the entire state. Omosuyi called on all political stakeholders, irrespective of party affiliation, to rally behind the Governor in order to collectively move Ondo State forward.
Highlighting his office’s mandate, Hon. Omosuyi reiterated his commitment to supporting the administration’s security architecture, especially in the sensitive areas of pipeline surveillance and waterways protection. He assured the people of Ondo State that his office would continue to work tirelessly to safeguard lives, infrastructure, and natural resources, thereby creating an enabling environment for sustainable development.
“This victory is for every indigene of Ondo State. It reaffirms the voice of the people at the ballot and strengthens our confidence in the judiciary as the last hope of democracy. Today marks the beginning of a new chapter of unity, peace, and prosperity for our beloved state,” Omosuyi declared.
With the Supreme Court’s judgment delivered today, Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa’s mandate has been conclusively validated, paving the way for a new era of stability, growth, and inclusive governance in Ondo State.
