*AYEDATIWA IS DEPENDING ON THE GOODWILL OF ALL APC MEMBERS TO WIN THE PRIMARIES OF THE PARTY.
The camp of Governor Lucky Ayedatiwa has described as fallacy the stories on some media that Former Governor Rauf Aregbesola loyalists and former Governor Olusegun Mimiko are the ones working to make Ayedatiwa win the ticket of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the upcoming primaries election in Ondo State. The question is how does Aregbesola become a factor in the primary election in Ondo State?
Even though former Governor Rauf Aregbesola is a respected member of the APC and an ally of the President of the Federal Republic, Bola Ahmed Tinubu he is not from Ondo State and would not be voting at the primaries and the governorship elections. The people described as his loyalists supporting Ayedatiwa are members of APC and like any other indigene of Ondo State have the right to support any candidate of their choice. That they have chosen to support Ayedatiwa who has been garnering an unprecedented support from all and sundry is a welcome development.
On the fathom role of former Governor Mimiko, it should be seen as a mere distraction. Mimiko is not a member of APC and does not have a say in the affairs of the party. Is it the Mimiko whose party has been roundly defeated twice by the APC candidate in his base, Ondo East/West Constituency by Honorable Abiola Makinde that would now determine the fate of Governor Ayedatiwa in the APC?
The writers of the stories are just on a wild goose chase and have made a very poor effort to portray Ayedatiwa as fraternising with the perceived enemies of the President. Let it be known that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has no enemy in Aregbesola, any member of APC or Nigerian for that matter. He is the father of the nation and a committed democrat.
It is obvious that Governor Ayedatiwa has become the real deal in Ondo politics and has been enjoying overwhelming support from people within the APC and outside of the party which portends what the future holds – victory at the polls. All well meaning Ondo state people are welcome to give him all the support he needs to make Ondo state better and greater. The people should not allow themselves to be hoodwinked by mischief makers and merchants of vices in their bid to score cheap political points.
