AKURE, Ondo -                                  Ondo state Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu  has applauded President Muhammadu Buhari for including in his ministerial nominees, Akure-born politician, Senator Tayo Alasoadura.

Akeredolu, who expressed satisfaction with the nomination, described Alasoadura as a round peg in a round hole going by his political experience and pedigree.

In a statement signed by the Governor’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Ojo Oyewamide, Akeredolu expressed confidence in the ability of the Alasoasura to discharge assigned responsibilities just as he thanked President Muhammedu Buhari for the wise choice.

The statement read, “Undoubtedly, President Muhammedu Buhari has made a wise pick in Senator Omotayo Donald Alasoadura who has demonstrated over the years, an unquenchable desire for excellence, hard work and commitment to assigned responsibilities.

“Having had an eventful and memorable stay in the Senate, Alasoadura provided what could be regarded as an immeasurably valuable representation to his people.

“It is, therefore, without any iota of doubt that Senator Alasoadura will bring to bear, his rich pool of experience to galvanise the needed support for Mr. President’s Next Level Agenda,” the statement read.

Senator Alasoadura, who represented Ondo Central Senatorial district at the upper chamber of the 8th National Assembly, was nominated alongside 42 other prospective ministers whose names were sent to the Senate for confirmation hearing.

Alasoadura, who contested under the All Progressives Congress (APC), lost his re-election bid to Senator Ayo Akinyelure of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) during the February 24 National Assembly election.
