The Governor specifically noted that he is not just participating in the APC primary, he will win it and subsequently be re-elected for another term come October 10, 2020 governorship poll.
A statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Ojo Oyewamide, described those behind the rumour as political scavengers who would stop at nothing to sustain their trade of deceit.
According to the statement, “this is yet another distraction unleashed with the aim of deceiving the unsuspecting public and diverting attention from the self-imposed pains on the part of those behind the story. It is clearly, coming from those who have chosen the perfidious political path.”
The statement read; “The widely circulated rumour, especially on the social media that the Ondo State Governorship Election Screening Committee of the APC has disqualified Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, from participating at the Party Primary scheduled for July 20 is untrue.
“This is yet another distraction unleashed with the aim of deceiving the unsuspecting public and diverting attention from the self-imposed pains on the part of those behind the story. It is clearly, coming from those who have chosen the perfidious political path.
“Governor Akeredolu is not just participating at the Party Primary. He shall be re-elected by the Grace of God come October 10, 2020.
“The Governor therefore, appeals to all his supporters to ignore the rumour and dedicate this period to God for His continuous grace, favour and protection.
“It’s a ploy to distract you. They are scavengers and will stop at nothing to sustain their trade of deceit. Ignore them. Remain firm. Be dedicated and be prayerful.”
