Crisis rocking the Unity Forum of the All Progressives Congress in Ondo State on Tuesday deepened with the emergence of Chief Olusola Oke as the group’s consensus candidate to contend with the incumbent governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.
Alhaji Olanusi in a press statement said Oke was picked in a report submitted by the Gubernatorial Candidate Selection Committee. Senator Borofice, who is the patron of the Unity Forum, rejected the emergence of Chief Oke and urged all aspirants to prepare for the primaries.According to the statement issued by Borofice media aide, Kayode Fakuyi, “The media report suggesting that Unity Forum has adopted a consensus candidate to represent the Forum in Ondo APC governorship primary election is misleading. The fact is that Unity Forum has no consensus candidate. This fact is premised on two fundamental reasons.
“Therefore, it is the consensus opinion of majority of leaders and members of Unity Forum in Ondo North senatorial district and other parts of Ondo State that Unity Forum is yet to present a consensus candidate”.His words, “The attention of the duly elected secretary of the Screening Committee of the Unity Forum set up to select a consensus candidate for the APC in the next governorship elections has been drawn to a fake report from an unauthorised person.
“Our expectation is that by July 2020, an APC candidate will emerge from a formal Primaries and will move on to emerge as the governor of Ondo State in October of 2020 by God’s grace,” the media office said in an unsigned release.
