Akure – Tuesday, August 16, 2016 marked a significant leap in Olusegun Abraham’s bid to become the governor of Ondo state as the Conference of Ward Chairmen of the All Progressives Congress, APC from the 203 political wards in state declared their support for him in the party’s primaries and by extension the governorship election.

Their position was made known at a public declaration held at a popular hotel situated in Akure, the state capital.

The Chairman of the Conference, James Kolawole who addressed the press on the behalf of his other colleagues after the public declaration, noted that they all decided to pitch their tent with Abraham and give him their support as a result of the leader qualities they have seen in him.

He also disclosed that they all believe Abraham judging by his entrepreneurial skills has the capacity to resuscitate the dwindling economy of the state.

Kolawole further noted that Abraham has been a foundational member of the APC right from the Alliance for Democracy, AD days, while noting that his candidature is already recognized by the party’s national leaders.

The conference of the ward chairmen of the party according to him, decided to follow the footpath of their national leaders by declaring their support for Mr. Abraham because of his “unflinching personality.”

“We the conference of ward chairmen in the 203 wards are declaring our stance today to support the candidacy of Mr. Olusegun Abraham as we head to the primary election of our great party.

“We are in support of the aspirant (Olusegun Abraham) that has been identified to have the most fitting capacities to overcome the economic challenges in Ondo state,” he said.

On the issue of imposition of candidates as alleged by some members of the party, the Conference chairman noted that no one from any quarter imposed anybody on them, while further stressing that the conduct of the primary election would be guided by the party’s constitution.

“The position of the national leadership of the party is an informed one, not an imposition as wrongly branded by some aggrieved few within the state’s party structure”

Others are busy jumping up and down to blackmail Tinubu instead to convince the delegates how better they be than Abraham. Now Tinubu kept on convincing people to see things in the way he sees and his idea gets adopted. so cry no foul and go for your primary.

That's good

Let's see if the aspirants will impeach the ward chairmen also. Politics is local, it's grassroot. It happened in Lagos too, ambode was busy canvassing for votes in every ward , the other aspirants were doing nothing but screaming imposition, at the end of the day he won massively and today we all see he deserves the seat judging by his success so far.
