He expressed optimism that these policies will lead to sustained progress, economic prosperity, and development across the country.
Commending the APC’s organizational efforts, Ologbese acknowledged the role of key party stakeholders, including the National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, the Progressive Governors’ Forum, the National Campaign Council, and all party faithful, whose dedication and hard work contributed significantly to the electoral success.
Prince Ologbese also praised the electorate in Ondo State for their peaceful conduct during the polls, which ensured a seamless election process. Furthermore, he commended INEC for notable improvements in election management, particularly the prompt transmission and collation of results, which enhanced the credibility of the process.
As the APC celebrates its victory in Ondo State, the commissioner urged the governor to focus on consolidating on his previous achievements while addressing emerging challenges to improve the lives of the people.
