Akeredolu stressed the urgent need to establish a new constitutional order that upholds the principles of federalism, stating that the success in addressing the flaws of the amended 1999 Constitution would greatly influence the direction and effectiveness of governance.

Akeredolu expressed confidence in Tinubu’s ability to deliver and noted that the government and people of Ondo State would engage robustly with the federal government.
