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.

False, I did not start opposition coalition with you – Fayemi counters Amaechi

A former governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi on Sunday dismissed claims by ex-Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi that they started the opposition coalition together.
Amaechi had said he and Fayemi initiated discussions about the opposition coalition before it expanded to other politicians.
The former governor of Rivers State made the claim during an X Space on Saturday.
“Fayemi and I began the coalition discussion, and we subsequently agreed to broaden it so that it would involve more than just the two of us talking about starting a new party,” Amaechi said.
However, responding on Sunday, Fayemi, through the head of his Media Office, Ahmad Sajoh, described Amaechi’s claim as false and misleading.
Sajoh, in a statement, insisted that Fayemi remains a committed member of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Parts of the statement read: “In an era where fabricated or distorted statements are often attributed to public figures for malicious purposes, we are cautious about engaging with potentially manufactured controversies designed to provoke or profit.
“It is possible that Hon. Amaechi did not make the statement or was misquoted.
“We unequivocally state that these claims lack any basis. Dr. Fayemi remains a committed member and leader of the APC in Ekiti State.
“At various public forums, he has consistently affirmed his dedication to the party, working to address its challenges and advance its progressive ideals for Nigeria. Nothing has changed.”

2027: Tinubu’ll get more Northern votes despite Buhari’s death – Dayo Adeyeye

A former Minister of State for Works, Dayo Adeyeye, on Saturday, hinted that the death of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari won’t affect President Bola Tinubu’s reelection in 2027.
Adeyeye said Tinubu would get more votes in the North despite Buhari’s death.
Addressing journalists in Lagos, Adeyeye said claims that Buhari’s death would affect Tinubu’s chances was faulty.
He insisted that Tinubu never depended on Buhari’s popularity in the North to win the 2023 election.
Adeyeye said: “It’s not correct. In fact, Tinubu will win more votes in the north and elsewhere in 2027 than anytime ever in the history of the republic.
“Ninety per cent of the CPC figures are with him (Tinubu), quote me any where. The leadership met about three or four weeks ago and said they are with Tinubu.”
