‘Akeredolu doesn’t deserve APC ticket’: The APC in Ondo State has many credible individuals that can run for the governorship position. I would like to believe that the party is not deficient of credible people who desire to be governor...
Former All Progressives Congress Akoko North East/West Federal constituency aspirant, Mrs. Tinuade Komolafe, spoke withthe APC stand a chance in the 2020 governorship poll in Ondo?
This gave me the opportunity to witness the problems that befell our party first-hand. Everything dates back to 2016 APC governorship primary. Therefore, APC members who did not support him before the primary were treated as outcasts within the party. Despite denials of the existence of Aketi Group, you will find the group in small numbers in every nook and cranny of my senatorial district.
When it became obvious that the attempt at the imposition of candidates had failed, as the governor’s anointed candidates did not emerge as party flag bearers, rather than support the candidates that emerged through the process, the governor encouraged and sponsored his cohorts to defect to the Action Alliance , barely a few months to the general election.
So, I would say PDP candidates were just freebooters. But, if you look at the margin of victory in the face of all the circumstances in the APC, then it is obvious that a little more cohesion within the party would have easily secured an APC victory.Yes, because the APC House of Assembly primary was not allowed by the party chairman and the governor to hold in Ondo State. So, automatic APC tickets were given to AA faithful.
As a matter of fact, all APC faithful are united to correct the anomalies through the APC Unity Forum under the leadership of Pa Ali Olanusi, the former deputy governor. However, it is one thing to show a desire to be a governor and another to be electable. That being said, I believe Omooba Jimi Odimayo should get the ticket.Well, maybe I differ from your ‘typical’ politician then! For me, I am quite blunt and straight to the point. Most people would say that is not a good political attribute; they have a right to their own opinion.First, he is credible and electable.
