With the general assumption that governors tend to do less once they secure a second term mandate, KUNLE ODEREMI examines the second term coming of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu in Ondo State.
YOU should know that people can never be taken for a ride all the time… Politics is about the people and if you want to lead the people you must be consistent and live by example. These qualities are what will make people believe in you, and follow you. Those were the words of the acting chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Mr Ade Adetimehin, at the threshold of the governorship poll.
