Damisi Ojo, Akure
The Senior Particular Assistant (SSA) to the Ondo State Governor on Public Engagement, Steve Otaloro, has debunked the report alleging that Governor Fortunate Aiyedatiwa has shifted his support from the APC candidate for Ondo South Senatorial District, Dr. Isaacs Kekemeke, to the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Celebration (PDP), Hon. Matthew Oyerinmade (MATO).
In a press release on Monday in Akure, the state capital, Otaloro stated there isn’t a reality in anyway within the insinuation that the governor has deserted the APC candidate and now supporting the candidate of one other political get together.
Ondo South Senatorial Seat on the Higher Chamber,Abuja turned vacant following the appointment of Senator Jimoh Ibrahim as Nigeria’s Ambassador to the United Nations (UN) by President Bola Tinubu.
The place is being keenly contested by APC and PDP candidates.
Otaloro described Aiyedatiwa as a dedicated member and chief of the APC in Ondo State who has constantly demonstrated his loyalty to the progressive political household, courting again to the times of the Alliance for Democracy (AD) and the Motion Congress of Nigeria (ACN), which finally metamorphosed into the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The SSA stated ‘It’s subsequently inconceivable that the Governor, who at the moment leads the APC in Ondo State, would intentionally pitch his tent against the candidate of the identical get together in favour of a candidate contesting on the platform of one other political get together.
“The Governor has by no means authorised anybody to talk on his behalf in support of any opposition candidate, and any declare suggesting in any other case ought to be handled as false, mischievous and politically motivated.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Governor Aiyedatiwa stays firmly dedicated to the APC and its candidates. His political loyalty and duty because the chief of the get together in Ondo State don’t allow him to interact in any motion that may undermine the get together he leads.
“Additionally it is instructive that Dr. Isaacs Kekemeke himself has publicly dismissed stories of any disagreement between him and the Governor, affirming that the Governor supported his emergence because the APC’s candidate and stays his benefactor and the chief of the get together within the state”.
The assertion consequently urged members of the general public, APC supporters and the folks of Ondo State to ignore the hearsay of an alleged shift within the Governor’s support, saying It’s nothing greater than an try by political actors to create pointless division between the Governor and the APC’s senatorial candidate.
Otaloro maintained that Governor Aiyedatiwa stays an APC chief, an APC loyalist and a supporter of the get together’s candidates who is not going to support any candidate against the get together he leads.
For a greater society
