•Asiwaju Tinubu
Elders of the Ondo State All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ifedore Local Government yesterday pledged their loyalties to the party’s National Leader, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, Southwest Vice Chairman Chief Pius Olu Akinyelure and the State Chairman, Isaac Kekemeke.
They pledged to stand by whatever decision taken by the leaders on the August 27 governorship primary.
The elders said they would never tolerate a situation where the integrity of the leaders would be rubbished by anybody.
A statement issued and signed by the APC leaders from Igbara-Oke, Oladapo Taiwo, Chief Muyide Adu (Ijare), Chief Femi Bakare (Ilara-Mokin) and Sola Omotosho, Secretary Ifedore Local Government, said they were proud of their leaders’ achievements.
The statement reads: “We also use this opportunity to pledge our total loyalty to the party’s national secretariat as they prepare to midwife a free fair and credible primary to usher in a new and progressive government.
“We also appeal to all our members in the APC in Ifedore Local Government to remain loyal to their leaders and go about their party duties of mobilisation of members and preparation for the primary.”
Bakare said there was nothing wrong if Tinubu endorsed one person out of the 25 aspirants eyeing the party’s ticket.
He noted that American President Barrack Obama endorsed Hillary Clinton before their party’s primary as his own anointed candidate.
“There is nothing wrong in endorsing. If Obama can endorsed, has an interest, how much more of a leader of a calibre of Tinubu, who believes in developing people?”
Also, the Muslim Council of APC in the state has said the position of Tinubu should be adhered to during the gubernatorial primary election slated for August 27.
This was contained in a statement signed by the council state secretary, Alhaji Ehinola Ahmed.
The group said the council believes in any decision made by Tinubu, which, they said, is in the best interest of the party and the state.
The council said it would throw its weight behind what it described as a laudable decision.
