Horrible>>50 APC candidates set to battle for governorship ticket in ondo state
Aspirants of the APC party include former president of the Nigeria bar Association(NBA) Rotimi Akeredolu,senator Ajayi Boroffice,Segun Abraham, Chief Olusola Oke and former speaker of the state house of Assembly, Victor Olabitan and other 50 people are jostling to win the all progressive congress governorship ticket in On do State.
About 50 people are set to battle to win
the governorship ticket for the All
Progressive Congress (APC) in Ondo state
and more candidates are still expected to
emerge.
According to The Punch, the rise in
number of governorship candidates seems
to be giving the party’s leadership a
serious concern.
It was gathered that the issue of how the
governorship candidate will emerge in a
rancour-free atmosphere has become what
one of the APC chieftains termed as a
must-not-fail assignment of the party’s
National and State Working Committees.
The aspirants are sure of securing the
party’s ticket, thereby giving no room for
consensus or imposition of candidate by
the party’s leadership. Each of them had
expressed the belief that any candidate
presented by the APC for the forthcoming
election would have an easy ride to the
Alagbaka Government House, Akure, on
February 24, 2017.
Leading aspirants of the party are former
president of the Nigerian Bar Association
(NBA), Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN); Senator
Ajayi Boroffice, Segun Abraham, Chief
Olusola Oke, former Speaker of the state
House of Assembly, Victor Olabimtan,
Bode Ayorinde and Chief Bukola Adetula.
Others are Boye Oyewumi, Moyosola
Niran-Oladunni, Niran-Sule Adesuyi,
Foluso Adefemi, Dele Alade and Senator
Tayo Alasoadura, who currently
represents Ondo Central Senatorial District
at the Senate.
In a bid to emerge as the candidate, many
of the aspirants were said to have met
with the national leaders of the party to
have their “blessings” while various party
leaders, both men and women across the
18 local government areas of the state,
seem not to be experiencing the current
economic downturn in the country as a
result of the money being showered on
them by various aspirants who regularly
visit them for endorsement.
The party leaders have noted that the
candidate that will emerge must be a
politically experienced member from the
defunct Action Congress of Nigeria. This,
they said, would ensure that the person
would be loyal and have respect for the
party authority if he eventually becomes
the governor of the state.
A source within the leadership of the
party said, “The party leaders both in the
state and at the national level know
where they are going over the issue of
candidacy; they know who they want to
be the candidate of the party in the
election. When the time comes, the boys
will be separated from the men among
the aspirants. Let them continue to come
out, it is a welcome development for the
party, it shows that our party is a
beautiful bride in the state now.”
Isaac Kekemeke, the chairman of the
party, has insisted that the party had no
anointed person among the aspirants. He
had said the party would take the
necessary procedures to ensure the
candidate emerged through a free, fair
and credible primary.
