“Your Excellency, your re-election is a testimony of the confidence and trust which the electorate reposed in you based on your performance during your first term in office,” the General said.

He noted that the hope of all and sundry in the state is that the incumbent who has just won a deserving second term will replicate with further improvement on his antecedents, particularly in his promise for the exploration and exploitation of Bitumen and the development of the Deep Seaport at the Southern Senatorial District of Ondo State.

Bajowa further said, “of equal significance are the promises of the APC Government for the provision of electricity to alleviate the power outage challenge, provision of potable water and motorable roads and to facilitate industrialisation in the Southern Senatorial District; the reactivation of the moribund Oil palm industry at Okitipupa and Oluwa Glass industry at Igbokoda, in order to bring dividends of Democracy to the people at the grassroots of the Southern Senatorial District and make life more abundant for the people of the catchment areas.”
