He further disclosed that plans are underway to procure advanced security gadgets and equipment to bolster security operations across the state.
Governor Aiyedatiwa also welcomed the Supreme Court’s decision affirming his candidacy in the last gubernatorial election.
The apex court dismissed an appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Agboola Ajayi, thereby upholding the legitimacy of Aiyedatiwa and his deputy, Olayide Adelami, as the valid candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The governor lauded the judiciary for its commitment to upholding justice, describing the ruling as a testament to the courts’ adherence to facts and the rule of law.
“The Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal have once again demonstrated their dedication to ensuring that democracy thrives.
“Their judgments have been based on clear legal principles, and this verdict reaffirms the mandate given to us by the people of Ondo State,” he said.
