An aspirant for the forthcoming Ondo State gubernatorial election under the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Olusola Oke, SAN, has formally declared his intention to run for the race.
While declaring his interest at the party secretariat today in Akure, he emphasised the need for the party leadership to ensure fairness in the conduct of the primary election slated for April 25.
The guber aspirant who is from Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State in the Southern senatorial district, noted that all he wanted from the party leadership was an assurance of a free and fair primary election without fear or favour.
This development came as Oke appointed former Deputy Governor of the State, Alhaji Alli Olanusi as the Director General of the Olusola Oke Campaign Organization.
He charged them to be wary of those claiming they have been endorsed in Abuja, saying if any aspirant is going to be endorsed, he is the one.
Speaking at the event, Oyebo Aladetan, a former member of the State House of Assembly, said it is Oke that the people of the southern senatorial district of the state are supporting.
Aladetan appealed to the people in Ondo North and Central senatorial districts to join them in supporting the gubernatorial aspiration of Oke.
His words “It is Chief Olusola Oke we are supporting. Oke was instrumental to the elevation of Ilaje sons and daughters who are now holding important positions in Nigeria and all over the world.
“When he was in NDCC, there was no local government area where his projects were not located. They are in Akoko and other places.
“Chief Oke has been taking care of party executives for the past five years. He was the instrument in the hands of God that made me and so many others reach where we are today.
“Those of us in the coastal region of the state are begging you to join us to support him. Oke has been working for our people.
“He is an empathetic person who always considers others in whatever he does. Those who enjoyed his scholarship awards while he was in NDDC are still thanking him. They are now doctors and professors.”
Ayodeji Victor Oritedi, one of the gubernatorial aspirants in the state, declared his decision to step down for Oke.
Oritedi said: “I am happy to associate with Chief Olusola Oke. All our structures globally and supporters have decided to join him. This is because it is a God ordained-project.”
The chairman of the party, Adetimehin, appealed to aspirants to shun thuggery, rein in their supporters and abusive language as they move around canvassing for votes.
