The All Progressives Congress has assured that it will conduct a free, fair, and credible primary election in Ondo State.
National Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Ganduje, stated this while receiving some members of the Ondo State House Of Assembly at the party’s secretariat.
The death of Ondo Rotimi Akeredolu triggered a fierce power struggle in the oil-producing State.
Rotimi Akeredolu’s deputy, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, quickly moved to consolidate control after being sworn in to replace his boss.
But the new governor faces resistance from rival political groups seeking to curb his influence before elections in November.
Some 13 members of the Ondo State Assembly led by the Speaker, Olamide Oladiji, say they want a government of continuity.
For the Party’s National Chairman, he says that it took a lot of effort to complement the intervention of President Bola Tinubu to restore sanity in Ondo state.
He assured of a level playing ground for all.
Lucky Aiyedatiwa is expected to declare his intention to contest in the APC primary in the coming weeks and will be hopeful that the party will hand him the ticket on a platter, a privilege enjoyed by serving governors.
