"We the entire journalists in the Sunshine State are proud to associate with your accomplishments and vibrant leadership that earned you this huge award.

Ondo NUJ equally congratulates the State Governor, Arakunrin Akeredolu, who is our GRAND PATRON, on the occasion of receiving National Honour from President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday 11th October, 2022.

"No doubt that even your adversaries know and agree that you deserve to be honoured for your bold, uncommon activism and unrelenting leadership that you have been providing as the Chairman of the Southern Governors' Forum and the Southwest Governors' Forum; especially on the need to protect the citizenry from bandits and other criminals terrorising the nation through the formation of Amotekun Corps and support to other security agencies.

"It is our sincere belief at Ondo NUJ that these National Honours of CON and MFR will spur both our Brave Governor and our National President to do more for the nation and humanity generally."
