Ondo gov poll: I’ll pick APC ticket — Aiyedatiwa

Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State has expressed
optimism about emerging as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, in the state.

Aiyedatiwa said this at a strategic meeting of officials and
other members of the Lucky Aiyedatiwa Campaign Organisation Foot Soldiers,
LACO-FS, in Akure.

A statement by the LACO-FS Director of Information, Mr
Kayode Fasua, quoted the governor as saying “My supporters should continue
working and never doubt as my coming victory in the primary and general
elections is the promise of God.”

He described his predecessor, the late governor, Mr Rotimi
Akeredolu as a prophet, who foresaw that he would succeed him as the next
governor of Ondo State.

“This (my emergence as governor) is what my late boss,
Governor Akeredolu wanted. A lot of people don’t know Akeredolu; they don’t
know that he was a prophet.
