He said the gesture was part of his efforts and commitment to boosting the re-election campaign of Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo in the state.

“The 2019 elections are very important to the APC and our state and we have to work for the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari because he has done well and we have to give him another term.

“What I am sure of is that victory is sure for the President in Ondo State and the country in general,” he said.

Akeredolu urged members of the campaign organisation to ensure that the vehicles were used for the purpose they were meant for.

He said the buses were meant to be used to mobilise members of the party across the state.

The state chairman of the APC, Ade Adetimehin, urged members to work for the party’s victory.

He also urged them to shun violence before, during and after the elections.

“We have no problem in Ondo state. We have started work, so victory is sure for the APC. Victory is sure for President Muhammadu Buhari,” Adetimehin said.

The buses were presented to the chairmen of APC in the 18 local government areas of the state.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the APC in Ondo on Wednesday, December 26, refuted reports allegedly made by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) that it welcomed not less than 10,000 of the APC members in the Okitipupa local government area of the state.

The ruling party said that the PDP's claims further proved it was bent on peddling rumours, fake news and distorting facts in what it described as cheap propaganda.
