Ondo State Governor Oluwarotimi
Akeredolu has said he chose Lucky Ayedatiwa as his running mate because he
possessed verifiable credentials.
Akeredolu, who spoke yesterday at
the swearing in of aides, said: “Party chiefains made wide consultations to
choose the most suitable candidate as my running mate. We have concluded that
Lucky Ayedatiwa is the appropriate choice given the prevailing circumstances in
the political arena…
“He has been with us since the
beginning of this political journey in 2012, and some important factors
assisted the leaders in arriving at his choice. We have decided to sever ties
with mediocrity and treachery.
“There is indeed no art to find
the mind’s construction in the face; we are also not in any position to change
yesterday. We must, however, allow the experiences of the immediate past to
guide our decision.
“A candidate with verifiable
credentials and pedigree has been chosen to complete the last part of the
governorship race. We may not have chosen a saint and the best… We owe our
people the duty of care in this regard.”
The All Progressives Congress
(APC) has described Ayedatiwa as the right choice. It described Ayedatiwa, who
hails from Ilaje Local Government in Ondo South, as a grassroots politician
that would add value to the party.
Chairman Ade Adetimehin said
loyalty was considered.
“Ayedatiwa is a grassroots
politician and very loyal to the party. We do not want anybody who will betray
us in the future. With Ayedatiwa as Akeredolu’s running mate, victory is sure,”
he added.
