Ondo state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu has said his administration was succeeding because it has resolved not to carry governance on the head, as it is not a matter of life and death. The Governor who was speaking on his experience so far as a governor said the office was challenging although he has enjoyed the experience so far.
“It has been a great challenge; it was expected that it will take its toll but, by and large, I think I have enjoyed my one year. I have tried to run the government with the ease that it deserves. It is not what I carried on my head; it is not a matter of life and death. I will do my bit and, when I am through, others will continue the work.”
On the status of the APC in the state;
“The governor is a member of the party, but it doesn’t mean he is above the party. Of course, a party in government will have more people and we are frightened at a time on how to manage the influx and continue without a robust opposition. The structure is solid under the leadership of Engr. Ade Adetimehin. We are solidly on the ground and, with God on our side, we are going to be here for a long time to come.”
