As the Ondo 2024 Gubernatorial election approaches the Zero Hour, those who said the election was a walk over for them have been unable to have sound sleep, slipping into a “Panic Mode”. A good number of them, who initially proclaimed that, they are “Lucky” are singing a new song, based on the realities they encountered on the field.

In less than 28 days, the people of Ondo State will carry their destinies in their own thumbs. To decide whether they wish to continue with a government that has inflicted so much pain on them or choose a new dawn for themselves. The people have beamed their search light on the 10 months of Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa as Governor, the verdict has been a resounding failure.

In the last 48 hours, it has become more clearly evident that, with Hon Lucky Aiyedatiwa as Governor, Ondo State will continue to suffer, perhaps, more than we have ever suffered before as a people. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Akure South Local Government “Road Walk” in Akure, the State capital, on Monday, 14th October, 2024 was an emphatic “Quit Notice” to the APC government.

The much hyped Flag-off Campaign by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa at the Ondo City Stadium on Saturday, 12th October, 2024 was not only a show of shame but an anticlimax. The Stadium which hosted various high calibre sporting events in the past was a ghost of its former self with dilapidated pavilion as though, that was what the Governor intended to showcase to the entire world. The Stadium was visibly empty.

The media minders and information strategists of Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa have struggled unsuccessfully to do damage control on their pay master’s scorecard which l put in the public domain since l began these series. Unfortunately, they have been reactionary, leaving out the main issues in question to reel out what l call “empty campaign promises”.

It is a common saying that, “Health is Wealth”. The Ondo State health sector has completely collapsed under the watch of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who wants us to believe that, our people are lucky to have him as Governor at this time. Nobody should misconstrue a man’s personal luck with that of an entire State that is gasping for breathe in every segment of governance.

The reactions that trailed the maiden edition of this series were multi-dimensional; from the Ondo State Government’s information strategists to bootlickers. But, there is no need to respond to them because, the facts are known to all of us that live in Ondo State. They were flat, and as usual, lacking in substance. While l leave them to find solutions to the problems they created in the education sector, l proceed to the security situation in our Sunshine State.

As the 2,053,061 registered voters in Ondo State prepare to elect a new Governor on Saturday, 16th November, 2024, the people are weighing their options in an economy that has reduced even hard working people to beggars. I wish to take my reference from the time tested axiom that “if the one who is being lied to, does not know, the liar knows that he is lying”. Driving through some towns and villages within Ondo State, one is greeted with billboards sponsored by supposedly “Lucky” people.

The President himself participated in a primary in which the powers that be persecuted and tried to stop him from emerging as Presidential candidate of the APC in 2022. But he became victorious.
Opinion: How Lucky, Will Be Lucky Come November (2) By Kennedy Ikantu Peretei.
At the peak of the impeachment saga of Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa as Deputy Governor, a song by an Ikale crooner, Oluwatoyin Ojagbemi got traction. “Maabaja” which roughly translates to mean, “Don’t Fight him”. The melody was quite captivating. The lyrics admonished all not to fight, one who had God behind him. Having God behind him, in this sense was Lucky’s name as Lucky.

It is no longer news that, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has set aside 16th November, 2024 for the Governorship election in Ondo State. In an election that has been code-named “Battle of the former Deputy Governors”, Ondo State Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Alfred Agboola Ajayi, the standard bearer for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will trade tackles.
