Ondo Guber Race: APC Governorship Aspirant Cautions Party Against Selecting Inadequate Candidate

With the APC primaries looming on April 20, gubernatorial aspirant Jimi Odimayo has urged the party leadership to avoid the temptation of nominating a candidate with a one-term limit. Odimayo raised concerns that such a choice could be exploited by opposition parties during the November 16 election…..READ ALSO INEC Facing Legal Action Over Labour Party Presence In Edo, Ondo Gubernatorial Races

The current House of Representatives member representing Okitipupa/Irele federal constituency called on Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa to reconsider his ambition in the best interest of both the southern senatorial district and the ruling party.

Emphasizing the constitutional restrictions, Odimayo pointed out that Aiyedatiwa is ineligible for a third term in office.

“We cannot afford to field a candidate for a single term; it would weaken us in the next election. Our candidate must be capable of serving two terms, as mandated by the constitution. We, in Ondo South, will ensure the APC presents a formidable candidate,” Odimayo stated.

He further asserted, “The APC is the dominant party in Ondo State. It is Ondo South’s turn, and we demand that the party seizes this opportunity. We will not accept anything less than two terms for Ondo South. We must tread carefully to avoid falling into our opponents’ traps.”
