Mai Mala Buni, chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC)
caretaker committee, says only his party can win the governorship election in
Ondo state.
Speaking with reporters after meeting with President
Muhammadu Buhari on Friday, Buni said APC would win the poll because Rotimi
Akeredolu, the governor, is “performing.”
Buni, who is governor of Yobe, said the president endorsed
Akeredolu and commended the work his administration has done thus far.
“APC is the only party that can win election in Ondo, not
only because APC as a party is the only party but because the governor there is
performing and has performed, the people of Ondo state have seen themselves and
have agreed to themselves that yes, he is the only man they can trust for the
next four years,” he said.
“So Mr. President has endorsed him. That’s what we have been
looking for, his blessing, his endorsement, his encouragement and his support
and we have gotten that already
“We are here today to present our candidate to Mr. President
and being the leader of the party for his blessing. That has always been the
practice, we cannot kick-start our campaign without his endorsement and that is
what we have just done.
“We are all products of our choices and the people of Ondo
State are wise now to choose him to continue the good work he is doing. So I am
very much optimistic that the good people of Ondo State will renew their
mandate.”
Also speaking with reporters, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor
of Lagos and chairman of APC campaign council in Ondo, said their job has been
made easier because Akeredolu has performed well.
“When you have a good product and people have seen and have
agreed. It makes our job easier,” Sanwo-Olu said.
“Our good friend and brother, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, has
not only done well, he is a progressive and he is a man that has stood over the
last four years, carrying his people along and doing all to ensure that good
governance continues in Ondo state.”
The governorship election has been scheduled for October 10.
