The new Deji of Akure in Ondo State, Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi has declared his intention to ensure that the next Governor of the state is produced by Akure Community.
The monarch, who said his major ambition on the throne was to ensure that Akure indigene becomes the next Governor of the state, said he would use his influence and connections to ensure that his dream comes to fruition.
Besides, he tasked politicians and other eminent personalities who are indigenes of Akure to rally round him to ensure the realization of his dream.
The monarch, who spoke in his palace while receiving the Executive Council of the Akure Community Development Forum (ACDF) led by Chief Reuben Fasoranti said all Akure indigenes should work to ensure that the next Ondo Governor comes from the town.
Oba Aladelusi lamented that Akure, despite being the capital of the state has not produced the Governor of the state since its creation about 40 years ago.
The monarch expressed regret on the situation and stressed that he would do everything possible to ensure that Akure indigene becomes the next Governor of the state.
The monarch told the forum to put their acts together and prepare for the challenge of presenting a credible Akure man for the governorship election coming up next year.
He also regretted that indigenes of Akure had failed in the past to unite and speak with one voice.
The Assistant Secretary of the forum, Mr Eniola Olusola while speaking, urged the monarch to prevail on the state government to rehabilitate and construct more roads in Akure. .
