The name of Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN) has been forwarded to the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) in Abuja by the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress as its governorship candidate in the November 26 governorship election in Ondo State. It also forwarded the name of Mr. Agboola Ajayi as Akeredolu’s running mate. While Akeredolu hails from Owo, his running mate is said to be from Ese-Odo Local Government Area of the state.Going by reports though Ajayi’s name was submitted in the interim, it could still be removed. Confirming that his name had been sent to INEC as the governorship candidate of the APC, Akeredolu in a statement said:
“What can I say than to thank God who has done it again? God does not abandon His projects notwithstanding the challenges that may arise. I make bold to say to my co-aspirants in the APC, that we are all winners. None is vanquished. We are all victors. None is a loser. I hold the ticket of the party in trust for all of you. I am not perfect. No one is. But I will make up for my imperfections by drawing from your collective strength. Together we shall work in one accord to achieve success in the November 26 governorship election. Now is the time to pool our energy and resources together and rescue our state from misery and misrule of the Peoples Democratic Party-led government. United we stand. United we shall be victorious.”
