Aiyedatiwa Campaign Team Denies Rift In Ondo APC
Ahead of the November 16 governorship election, the Lucky Aiyedatiwa Campaign Organisation has denied claims of a crisis within the All Progressives Congress in Ondo State.
The Director-General of Campaign Organisation, Victor Olabimtan, stated at the weekend during the meeting of the party members, held at Supare Akoko in Akoko South-West Local Government Areas of the state.
Olabimtan, who is also the Chairman of the State Universal Basic Education Board claimed that the defection of some members of the party to the opposition party could not impede the success of the party at the forthcoming governorship poll, declaring that no candidate could beat the partyโs candidate and governor of the state in the election.
He said, โThe party is ready, we are moving into action. There is no crisis whatsoever in the party, in fact, we are going stronger and stronger everyday. As some are leaving, the people that are joining are more than those that are leaving, if three leave, 100 come in. Those who are coming in are much more and they will do more than those who are leaving.
โAiyedatiwa is the best candidate. There are no other candidates that can beat him. He is composed, he has the capacity, capability, educational background, resources and everything that it takes to be a governor.
โIn the last six months, the whole people in Ondo State and Nigeria at large know that we have a governor who is principled, who knows what he is doing, where he is going and a governor who knows the needs of the people of Ondo state and who wants to meet all those needs.โ
In his remarks, one of the partyโs stalwarts, Niran Olanusi, said the purpose of the meeting is to deliberate and strategies ahead the campaign for the party which is about to kick off.
He bragged that the party had no opposition in the election, saying Aiyedatiwa had impressed the people of the state with his performance in the few months that he assumed power.
โAiyedatiwa has made it easy for us to mobilize supporters for the party due to his excellent performance in the last seven months that he came to power.
โSo the party has no opposition in the state because majority of the people especially in Akoko areas are ready to show their support to the governor through their votes in the forthcoming election,โย Olanusiย stated.
