The Ilaje Development Summit Group has expressed gratitude to Governor Rotimi Akeredolu for picking one of their own, Lucky Aiyedatiwa as his running mate in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Ondo State.
TheNewsGuru.com TNG, reports that Akeredolu who ran a joint ticket with his incumbent deputy, Agboola Ajayi in 2016 announced Aiyedatiwa as his running mate last week after a fallout with Agboola who has since decamped to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and his rumoured to be defecting to another party.
The group in a statement by its Executive Administrator, Rev. Sola Adebawo said Akeredolu’s choice of Aiyedatiwa will help shift developmental attention to the area.

ILAJE DEVELOPMENT SUMMIT GROUP CONGRATULATES GOVERNOR AKEREDOLU ON THE CHOICE OF ILAJE SON (HON. LUCKY AIYEDATIWA) AS RUnNING MATE IN THE UP-COMING GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION IN ONDO STATE
· Commends Akeredolu for choosing an Ilaje man as running mate in October election
· Demands focus on development of Ilaje land by government
The Ilaje Development Summit Group (IDSG) wishes to congratulate the Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu (Aketi) on his choice of a distinguished Ilaje son, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, as his running mate in the coming governorship election in Ondo State.
This represents a clear recognition of both the obvious capacity of our brother and son to perform in this huge role, and a strong indication of an acknowledgment of the critical place of Ilaje in the sustainable success of our dear Ondo State. It also represents the beginning of a new era of Ilaje playing in the mainstream of governance in Ondo State, which our fathers fought relentlessly to help create, and which our resources have helped to sustain over the years.
As we approach the elections, we demand for a genuine focus on Ilaje for sustainable development of neglected infrastructures and other key areas such as health, education, economy, electricity etc. as a matter of commitment and not mere campaign rhetoric.
IDSG is a citizen-led initiative to engineer coordinated sustainable development of Ilaje land through participatory partnership of all groups, associations and individuals working for the development of Ilaje land. Though neither apolitical nor irreligious, IDSG is an inclusive organization with no exclusive political or religious affiliation. The organization is made up of the most accomplished Ilaje sons and daughters in Nigerian and in different countries around the world; and we therefore parade some of the finest minds in Ilaje land.
IDSG convened the much-talked about first-of-its-kind Ilaje Development Summit on november 23, 2019, at the Dome Akure, with participation by the Ondo State Government and Ilaje sons and daughters from different countries around the world, where the first Ilaje Regional Development Plan (a 50-year strategic plan for development of Ilaje land) was launched.
As a global organization of most outstanding Ilaje sons and daughters across all walks of life, IDSG seeks to partner with government at all levels and other critical stakeholders to engender sustainable development of Ilaje land, which has been obviously neglected by successive administration in the State.
