The walk which commenced from the Government House Akure, terminated at the state stadium, featured road walking and aerobic exercises, drawing participants from across the 18 local government areas.

Addressing Participants, Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who leads the solidarity walk hinted at possible return of Sacked Aides.

Aiyedatiwa commended the presence of former aides at the walk despite their recent disengagement, describing their attendance as a strong signal of loyalty and continued commitment to his administration.

“I am happy many of the aides are here. This shows loyalty, even though all the SSAs have been relieved. Many of you will still find your way back into government,” the governor stated.

The governor explained that the health walk was one of several initiatives by pro-Tinubu support groups aimed at galvanising support across the state.

“This walk was put together by one of the support groups here in Ondo State for the re-election of our President, Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It is one of many activities lined up to mobilise support,” he said.

He noted the impressive turnout, which included government officials, civil servants, artisans, security personnel, and youths from across the 18 local government areas.

“You can see the number of people that are here. It is a half-a-million-man walk for Ashiwaju,” he added.

Aiyedatiwa also used the opportunity to emphasise the importance of grassroots political engagement, urging participants to return to their wards and units to intensify mobilisation.

“The main work is at the unit, ward, and local government levels. I have advised them to go back and continue the mobilisation. By February 2027, we will deliver nothing less than one million votes,” he assured.
