According to Akeredolu, since the North had produced the president for eight years, it was the turn of the South to occupy the presidency.
He added that the nationwide acceptability enjoyed by APC presidential candidate, Tinubu, signalled victory in the February 25 election.
The governor assured that the country would flourish under Tinubu if elected president.
He explained that no amount of conspiracy could scuttle the victory of the ex-Lagos governor.
The governor said:
“Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu is tested and trusted. He has been governor of Lagos and we know how he transformed the state. I can assure you, Nigeria will move forward under Tinubu as president.”
Akeredolu urged the people to vote for all APC candidates, including Tinubu in the February 25 and March 11 polls.
The Ondo governor called on the people of Owo, Ose, and Akoko to vote massively for the senatorial candidate of the party, Jide Ipinsagba.
He added that his experience in the private sector would help him deliver on his mandate if elected.
He also urged the people to drum support for all the House of Representatives candidates of the party.
The governor said Bunmi Tunji-Ojo, Timehin Adelegbe, and Adegboyega Adefarati, as House of Representatives candidates, would bring quality representation to the people of their federal constituency.
Akeredolu also campaigned for the candidates of the House of Assembly in the senatorial district. They include Oluwole Ogunmolasuyi,
Owo constituency I; Morenike Witherspoon, Owo constituency I; Olatunji Maxima, Ose constituency; Gbogi Emmanuel, Akoko South West constituency I; and Akeju Bukunmi, Akoko South West constituency I.
