Three Gov Candidates Step Down For Aiyedatiwa
Less than 48 hours to the governorship poll in Ondo State, three gubernatorial candidates have stepped down for the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
The candidates are: Dr. Ajibola Falaye of Accord Party; Hon. Jenyo Ataunko of the National Rescue Movement and Olaide Ibrahim of African Democratic Congress (ADC) respectively.
The Chief Press Secretary to Governor Ayedatiwa, Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan who confirmed this in a statement on Thursday in Akure, Ondo state capital, said the endorsement came when the three candidates paid a solidarity visit to the Governor.
Speaking on behalf of the candidate, Dr Falaye hinged their decision to back the Governor on his commitment to public service, track record and outstanding performance in office.

He said: “We have been watching him, and his doors are always open to all,” Falaye stated, commending the governor for his inclusive approach to governance and for prioritising the welfare of residents.”
He pointed to the governor’s record on security, stating, “The state has been experiencing relative peace under his watch, which reflects his commitment to safeguarding the lives of our people.”
The Accord Party candidate also noted the shared values of progressive politics and goals that NRM, ADC, and Accord find in alignment with the Aiyedatiwa’s administration.
“We see the infrastructural development that has taken place even within this short period. It is clear that the governor is actively working for the people. This Saturday, we will turn our commitment into votes. We will vote for continuity in Ondo State.”
