The senior pastor of Awaiting The Second Coming Of Christ Ministry, Adewale Giwa has advised the All Progressives Congress, APC to consider the lifelong governorship ambition of Chief Olusola Oke, SAN.
Giwa’s plea is coming six days to the APC, governorship primary election in Ondo State,
16 aspirants, including the incumbent Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, have refused to step down for one another.
Incidentally, all of them hail from Ondo’s Southern senatorial district, except one of the female contestants who comes from the northern part of the state.
However, Giwa also advised other contestants to rally round their brother,Oke, SAN with a view to becoming the flagbearer of the party.
He stated this in Akure on Sunday while addressing journalists.
The pastor said that all hands must be on deck to support Oke to realize his lifelong governorship ambition.
Specifically, Giwa advised the APC aspirants to embrace dialogue, saying, ” If my memory serves me well, Chief Olusola Oke has contested for the governorship position three consecutive times.
“I think it is time to give him support to realize his governorship ambition. I want to advise other contestants to rally round him with a view to moving the state forward.
“Let me also advise the party leaders both at the national and state to becareful about whom they give the governorship ticket to.
“If Chief Oke had wanted to become a senator, he would have done so before now. He never lobbies to be a minister or political appointments at the federal level.
“What he wants is to become the governor with a view to turning the state around.
“Some of these aspirants are senators, reps members, political appointees, etc. Ask them what they have been able to do with the positions they are holding.
“They should think beyond the governorship ambition and rally round their brother, Oke, who is now 68 years old.
“Some of these contestants are fortunate to be where they are today. I expect some of them to thank God and manage whatever they have achieved.”
