Afiz Ogun, Director General of the Industrial Training Fund, is asking Ondo residents to support President Bola Tinubu's re election in 2027.

He says the state should repay the political recognition and development it has received from the Federal Government.

In a statement issued on Friday, Ogun focused on Ondo North Senatorial District, his home area.

He asked people there to bring out their families, friends and relatives, get their Permanent Voter Cards and vote for Tinubu.

He said this applies to everyone living and working in the state, whether Hausa, Igbo, Igbira or Yoruba.

Reports stated that he pointed to federal appointments from Ondo as proof of the President's trust.

These include the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, the Minister of Interior and the Minister of Youth Development.

He said Ondo should return the favour.

His appeal follows presidential campaign activities in Akure on Wednesday.

Ogun also spoke about the cocoa sector.

He said the government is pushing local processing so Nigeria can make chocolate, cocoa butter and creams instead of exporting mostly raw beans.

He said this would create jobs and bring in more money.

According to our source he also highlighted an ITF training and automation centre being built in Ondo State, which he called the biggest of its kind in Africa.

It will train people in fabrication, mechatronics and other technical skills.

On the hardship many Nigerians face, Ogun asked citizens to consider global conflicts and rising fuel prices before judging the government.

He said Tinubu has taken hard but necessary decisions on local government autonomy and infrastructure, pointing to the Lagos Calabar Coastal Highway and the Badagry Sokoto Highway.

He called for unity in Ondo, saying disagreements should not get in the way of working together.

"We may disagree on certain issues, but at the end of the day, we are brothers and sisters," he said.
