Our attention has been drawn to the purported endorsement of Chief Olusola Oke as a consensus candidate of the Unity Forum for the APC 2020 primary election. We deem it necessary to set the record straight by dissociating our principal, Chief Olayide Adelami, mni from this self-serving act displayed by some leaders of the forum.

While we respect the right of Alhaji Alli Olanusi to support any aspirant of his choice, it is however preposterous for him to try to force his choice on the group as the adopted candidate of the group.

Reactions from the Secretary of the Aspirants Screening Committee, Prof. Sola Ehindero, the Deputy Senate Majority Leader, Prof. Ajayi Boroffice and the Unity Group Elders Forum to the purported adoption is a clear indication that Alhaji Alli Olanusi acted in isolation and his action, therefore cannot override the collective interest of all well-meaning members of the forum. This collective interest is summed up in its sole aim of enthroning good governance in Ondo state through a capable, competent and credible candidate who will fly the flag of the APC in the October 10th governorship election.

On this note, let the people of Ondo state know that Chief Adelami will not be distracted by this purported endorsement and will therefore continue in his quest to liberate our people from the shackles of ineffective and inefficient governance of the current government at state level.

In the coming days, we shall continue engaging every media in further giving hope to our people that, truly, liberation is near.

We therefore encourage our teeming supporters and well-wishers across the 203 wards of the state not to relent but continue with their mobilisation and prayers for a resounding success for our principal, Chief Olayide Adelami, mni in the coming primary and general election of our great Party, APC.

Together, we shall make Ondo state great beyond imaginations.
