“ Our school feeding programmed feeds 9 . 2 million children daily . Whatever we have promised , we will do one by one . The railway, roads , water and power promised in the South – West will be done . ”

“ As you are here today , the people have seen you with us . It has great impact and it is more than any rally we could have organised . We are the same family and we see ourselves as one . I am happy we started in Ifon. A lot of things started in Ifon. It is part of the three key areas of Ondo State , ” Akeredolu stated .
