Ondo Good Governance Alliance Debunks Redemption Front’s Claims, Commends Aiyedatiwa’s Performance
The Ondo Good Governance Alliance (OGGA) has dismissed the falsehood and misleading the so-called “State of the State Address” issued by the Ondo Redemption Front on August 22, 2025.
In a statement signed by its Chairman, Samuel Adegbite, the group described the document as a deliberate attempt to misrepresent facts and discredit Governor Dr. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, who has, in just six months in office, demonstrated purposeful leadership and achieved measurable results across key sectors.
According to the group, contrary to claims of “directionless governance,” Ondo State under Aiyedatiwa is recording progress in security, infrastructure, healthcare, education, youth empowerment, and economic growth.
For the record these and many many achievements have been recorded in the last six months of Governor Aiyedatiwa:
1. Security: Ondo remains one of the safest states in Nigeria, with the reinforcement of the Amotekun Corps, deployment of drones, and distribution of over 25 operational vehicles to security agencies in the state. The signing of the Anti-Kidnapping Law has further strengthened deterrence against crime.
2. Infrastructure: Ongoing works include the Ondo State Judiciary Quarters, Rehabilitation of the 25.7km Idanre – Alaelefonsan road, Epe junction – (Ondo/Ife road) – Epe- Laworo – Atamo – Gloryfield High School – Ile Oluji road, Somorika (Supare) – Aba Balogun – Igboegun – Emure Iṣẹ road, some internal roads in Akure and its environ to ease movement and support rural trade. Expansion of the Ondo Deep Sea Port project to drive tourism business.
3. Healthcare: Recruitment of health workers, revitalization of Mother and Child Hospitals.
4. Education & Youth: Thousands of students have benefited from free WAEC fully paid by government, while over 5,000 youths are being trained under the Ondo Digital Skills Programme.
5. Economic & Welfare: The government has boosted agriculture with inputs for 10,000 farmers, promoted industrial investment, prompt payment of salaries and pensions, and launched a Social Welfare Scheme for widows and the elderly.
On allegations of a “₦240 billion bond” and “₦12 billion kickbacks,” OGGA described them as baseless, noting that all financial records are open, audited, and verifiable.
“The people of Ondo overwhelmingly voted Governor Aiyedatiwa with 72% of the ballots in November 2024. In less than six months, his performance is already visible. Ondo is not stagnant, Ondo is moving forward,” the statement concluded.
