The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, has urged Ondo State residents to vote for the party’s candidate, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, in the November 16 governorship election.
He spoke on Sunday at Aseyori Conference at the University of Fortune, Igbotako, Okitipupa Local Government Area of the state.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Aseyori Conference, a brainchild of Senator Jimoh Ibrahim’s political structure in the state, hosts no fewer than 5, 200 members.
The National Chairman also urged the members of the group to ensure they all cast their votes for the APC in order to ensure that the party wins the governorship election on Saturday.
Ganduje said: “We are here to motivate and encourage you, but you are motivated and courageous too.
“So make sure you all vote for APC, for our party to be victorious next Saturday.”
Earlier, Ibrahim, the representative of Ondo South Senatorial District, told his constituents to ignore rumours of non-alignment with Aiyedatiwa due to the primaries where the governor emerged as the APC candidate.
He said: “Politics is a social game.
“So don’t fight for me or argue on my behalf.
“I can fight for myself.
“Ignore every rumour making the rounds about me and the party.
“Organise your units and wards and ensure you vote for APC on Saturday.
“This is what I want from you.
“APC is a great party poised for victory because Peoples Democratic Party cannot win the November 16 election.
“You did it during 2023 election when I defeated Agboola Ajayi with 110,665 votes against 65,784 votes and Tinubu also won here,
“I want you to do it again so that APC will be victorious.”

Similarly, Aiyedatiwa, who was represented by his deputy, Olaide Adelami, thanked Ibrahim for siting his university in the state.
He said: “Thank you for this great institution of learning with massive buildings.
“I am indeed marvelled with this and I pray for a long life for you.
“I am marvelled at this great crowd I see here today too.
“I urge you to remind your husbands, wives and children to vote for APC next week.”
