President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday applauded the Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, for his massive developmental projects in the state, saying he deserved to be elected for a second term.

Buhari, who stated this in his message at the All Progressives Congress (APC) final campaign rally in Akure, commended the party’s governorship aspirants for accepting the outcome of the primaries and decided to work for the success of the party in the election.

President Buhari said: “I have no doubt that our candidate is a good brand for the APC to market.

“I am particularly delighted by his original approach to governance.

“His performance within the limits of available resources is endearing.

“He has taken the state to a new level and on the path of prosperity.
