The Convener of the Aiyedatiwa Campaign Organisation, Dr. Oladipupo Okeyomi, aka Carry Go, has explained the decision of the group to dump it’s controversial red beret for a white one as well as the change in the name of the group.
In a statement, he said the change was informed by the realities of political re-engineering incumbent on supporters of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and the fact that several pro-Aiyedatwa groups had joined the old LACO-FS.
In the statement issued through the organisation’s State Director of Information, Mr. Kayode Fasua, Okeyomi added that in line with the new name, members of the group will start donning white berets, as against red berets.
The WHITE BERET, will thus become membership identification as the campaigns progress, he stressed.
While thanking the people of Ondo State for massively identifying with the next-term governorship ambition of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa as displayed during the organisation’s recent campaign tours of the 18 local government areas of the state, Okeyomi assured that the governor would take Ondo State to greater heights, if elected, next November.
Meanwhile, to rev up high-profile activities in ongoing campaigns for the election of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State, the Lucky Aiyedatiwa Campaign Organisation Foot Soldiers Independent Council (LACO-FSIC) has appointed prominent socio-political activist and US-based medical practitioner, Dr. Charles Marindoti Oludare, as Director for Contacts and Engagements.
His appointment is contained in a statement issued by the LACO-FSIC State Secretary, Barrister Tolu Babaleye, on Wednesday.
