As aspirants battle to get the governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress, THE PLAINTRUTH gathered at the weekend that president Bola Tinubu refused to anoint any politician.
More than 20 aspirants have purchased the nomination forms to contest the State governorship election on the platform of the party.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed April 6 -26 for party primaries.
The four leading contenders among the aspirants are the State governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, Chief Olusola Oke (SAN), Wale Akinterinwa, and current senator representing Ondo South Senatorial District, Jimoh Ibrahim.
Aiyedatiwa, in his desperate move to get the APC ticket had, last weekend wooed the daughter of the president, Folasade Tinubu to persuade his father the need to anoint him.
Impeccable sources within the presidency told THE PLAINTRUTH that Tinubu does not have a preferred candidate among the contestants.
“Despite we are interested in the governorship election in Ondo State, our president does not have a preferred candidate. His doors are open to all aspirants,”One of the sources in Abuja stated.
Although, the APC has yet to disclose the mode of the primary to elect its flag bearer.
However, Olusola Oke, is said to be the most experienced politician among the aspirants.
He is a politician who has structures across the eighteen local government area of Ondo state.
Oke played a major role in 2020 to re-elect late governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
The grassroots politician has contested the gubernatorial election in Ondo State three consecutive times.
“I am determined to set a new agenda that will centralize on all-inclusive government in the State.
“We shall use our wealth of experience and determination of purpose to drive the state to an enviable capacity, making it a cynosure of all eyes,” he said.
No doubt, the political observers believe that if the APC organizes a transparent primary, Oke may get the ticket to transform Ondo State better than the previous governors.
