It said: “Herdsmen attacks on farmers in the state had posed the greatest challenge to security of lives and property which was appropriately addressed by Akeredolu.
“The giant strides that Ondo state has made during your time have been impactful and worthy of saccharine encomium.

The group also lauded Governor Akeredolu for diversifying the state economy by looking for alternative ways of revenue generation for developmental purposes.
“Your upscaling of the economic and financial status of Ondo state as witnessed by the increased Internally Generated Revenue from a paltry N700million to N2.2billion is highly commendable.
“You are indeed our own ‘Omo Amuyangan’.
We would like to inform also that you will be conferred with the much deserved ‘Omo Amuyangan of the south West’ Award in no distant time,” the statement added.
