Less than 48 hours to the governorship election in Ondo State, three gubernatorial candidates of the Accord Party, the National Rescue Movement (NRM) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) have withdrawn from the election, endorsing Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The endorsement is coming after a solidarity visit to the governor, where Dr. Ajibola Falaye, candidate of the Accord party, said his decision to step down is based on Aiyedatiwa’s dedication to the progress of Ondo State.
The other two are the governorship candidate of the NRM, Hon. Jenyo Ataunoko and the deputy governorship candidate of the ADC, Mr. Olaide Rasheed Ibrahim.
The governorship candidate of the ADC had earlier declared support for Governor Aiyedatiwa.
Falaye stated that their decision to back the governor for Saturday’s election was based on observations of his longstanding commitment to public service, tracing back to his time as the deputy governor.
“We have been watching him, and his doors are always open to all,” Falaye stated, commending the governor for his inclusive approach to governance and for prioritising the welfare of residents.
