The Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) said on Tuesday that the All Progressives Congress is yet to submit the name of Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu as its governorship candidate in Ondo State. Recall Akeredolu, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, was declared the winner of the APC governorship primary in the state. INEC had fixed November 26 for the conduct of the election and Akeredolu’s name was expected to have been submitted to the commission. According to the Director, Publicity and Voter Education at the commission, Mr. Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, the ruling party is yet to submit the name of its candidate for the election to the commission. He said, “No, the APC has yet to submit the name of its candidate for the election. No name has been submitted by the APC. That’s the true position of things. The party still has time. If you check our timetable for the election, you will see that there is still time.”
