Aiyedatiwa Declared Winner of the Ondo APC Governorship Primary

Today Sunday 21st April 2024 the ondo state apc have confirmed Aiyedatiwa as their party flag bearer for the forthcoming Gubernatorial elections that will take place in the state.

Recall that Kogi State Governor, Usman Ododo, on Saturday declared the governorship primary election of the ruling All Progressives Congress in Ondo State as inconclusive.

Ododo, who was appointed by the national leadership of the party to head the election committee in the state, revealed in a statement late Saturday that “election will be conducted in all the 13 Wards of Okitipupa Local Government with total validated registered members of 9,515” due to “validated reports that the exercise did not hold” in the LG.

The statement read, “Having received reports of the primary election from the 203 Wards in the 18 Local Governments of Ondo State, the Primary election Committee has decided that election will be conducted in all the 13 Wards of Okitipupa Local Government with total validated registered members of 9,515 because of validated reports that the exercise did not hold in the Local government due to late arrival of materials and personnel as a result of logistics challenges.

Therefore the primary election was rescheduled for today Sunday 21st April.

“Election in Okitipupa Local Government shall be conducted 12 noon on Sunday, April 21, 2024.

Disappointingly for the other 14 aspirants, none were able to secure victory in any council area, signaling a clear mandate from the electorate for Governor Aiyedatiwa and Chief Olusola Oke in their respective spheres of influence.

However, the primary election was not without its challenges. Reports from the returning officer for Ifedore, Oliver Okpala, revealed that violence marred the electoral process in all wards within the Ifedore council area.
