Ondo APC Primary: Aiyedatiwa’s Victory Is Incontestable, Kayode Ajulo Declares

The Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in Ondo state, Kayode Ajulo has declared that the governorship primary election that produced Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa as the flag bearer of the All Progressives Party in Ondo State was incontestable.

Ajulo further said the election fulfilled all legal requirements guiding the conduct of the primary election with respect to Nigeria’s electoral act and the party’s constitution.

The lawyer in a statement made available to newsmen in Akure on Wednesday, said the primary election that produced the governor as winner was conducted in line with the provisions of the law.

He stressed that “although Governor Aiyedatiwa enjoyed and still enjoys an overwhelming support of the masses, party faithful and major stakeholders within and outside Ondo state, as evident in his landslide victory, we cannot take away the place of law, which puts to rest any issue that may arise with regards to the conduct of last Saturday’s election”

He then urged all other contestants, particularly the duo of Olusola Oke, SAN and Jimoh Ibrahim, both of whom he described as “distinguished lawyers with in-depth knowledge of the law, to openly congratulate the governor and work with him to actualize Ondo State of our dreams”

Ajulo noted that the election was conducted in a very orderly manner, devoid of violence and irregularities. He commended the Governor Usman Ododo-led primary election committee, INEC, observer’s groups and all relevant stakeholders for a hitch-free exercise

He is confident that the governor will also record a massive win in the November 2024 governorship election.

“Once again, I congratulate Mr Governor on this landmark victory, I also rejoice with the people of Ondo state for being lucky to have his a Governor at this point in time and I want to applaud the APC party faithful for displaying utmost decorum on Saturday. Rest assured, the Governor is not resting on his laurels and he will do everything within his power to take the state to a greater height” the statement concluded.

Governor Aiyedatiwa won the Ondo state APC governorship primary election by a landslide vote of 48,569 and was distantly followed by Mayowa Akinfolarin who polled 15,343 votes.
