The Senator representing Ondo North, Prof. Ajayi Boroffice, has urged members of the Ondo State All Progressives Congress (APC) to disregard the rumours on the purported endorsement of any of the party’s 25 governorship aspirants.
A statement in Akure, the state capital, by his media aide, Kayode Adeniyi, described the rumour of endorsement as needless distraction that would never aid its promoters.
He urged the party’s 3,000 delegates to remain vigilant and steadfast as some desperate politicians might have ignited the rumour in an attempt to derail APC’s focus on free, fair, credible and transparent primary election.
Boroffice said he got assurances from the APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, former interim National Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande and party leaders in the Southwest geopolitical zone that there was nothing like anointed aspirant or endorsement.
The Asiwaju of Akokoland said: “As an aspirant and democrat, I have had intimate interactions and engagements with party delegates over the years.”
“The support I enjoy from them is reassuring. No distraction, whether calculated or accidental, can derail our focus on August 27, the scheduled date for primary election. My supporters and I are ready to participate and win.”
He urged the party loyalists to comport themselves and ensure that the desired change in governance needed in the state is realised from February next year.
