*Says He Is Not Opposed To Akeredolu’s Re-Election

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday said he has no anointed candidate in the Ondo governorship election and he is not seeking to influence the outcome of the primary scheduled to hold on July 20.

In a statement made available to Daily Independent titled Re: Ondo Guber Poll May Lead to Crisis in South-West APC, Tinubu also said contrary to reports, he is not opposed to the re-election bid of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state but wishes him well in his aspiration.


According to the former Lagos state governor, all he desires is a free, fair and credible primary that is “is run according to the dictates of internal democracy and are devoid of bias for or against any candidate”.

“In the matter of Ondo governorship race, Asiwaju Tinubu has stated his impartiality. As a leader of the party, he has no favoured or disfavoured candidate in the race. Neither is he trying to influence matters behind the scene in any regard”.


“His hope is that all credible and strong party members who seek the nomination will be able to face each other in a fair contest. Let them compete for the party’s banner openly and without imbalance or slant in the contest”.

“Whoever reaches the finish line before the others, shall be the nominee of the party for the elections later this year. Asiwaju will gladly and actively stand by the party’s candidate to win the general election”.


“It is at that point that you will see Asiwaju in strong action in support of a candidate. When you see him in action there shall be no mistake as to what his objectives are. The APC candidate will have a formidable ally at his side”.


“Thus, the suggestion given by the report that Asiwaju has a favourite candidate is a fabrication of great falsity. Thus, he will not roil if a candidate is disqualified provided that the disqualification is based on a non-biased examination of the factual record”.


“Interestingly, the party’s Screening Committee led by Alhaji Tumsa has not officially stated that it has disqualified any aspirant. If any aspirant is disqualified, however, such an aspirant has the right of appeal”.
Speaking further, Tinubu said he wishes Governor Akeredolu well and he believes the governor should be given the opportunity to present his scorecard to party members who will then determine if they want him to continue in office or not.
“Those who try to pit Asiwaju Tinubu against Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu should also cease their fable rousing. Asiwaju holds good will toward Governor Akeredolu.
He believes the governor should have the opportunity to set out his record and resume before party members and let them determine if the governor or another one of our able candidates is the person they prefer to lead the state”.
“One would expect the governor to have a solid chance in the primaries. Yet, along with the governor, the party has the benefit of numerous capable candidates seeking the nomination”.
“Too many people incorrectly see a strong field of candidates as something wrong. They do not understand democracy and are thus behind the times. Allowing those who feel the civic duty free space to run for office strengthens the party and our overall democracy”.
“There should be a competition of ideas and programs. Such competition brings vitality. This does not connote disrespect to the incumbent. It merely exalts the democratic ideal”.
“In the end, Asiwaju is for the party and the candidate chosen by the party, who that will be, the primary will tell us” the statement reads.

NP: Khalid - Old, dumb and nasty

Asiwaju, I know you guys will want to retain Ondo as apc, you wouldn't wanna loose it as Oyo.

Well, Akeredolu should not be the one to represent the party.
He shouldn't win the primary election, if another candidate wins it, Ondo MIGHT retain APC.

cos, we will send him back to ibadan, he should go and help Seyi Makinde with his audio governance.

As if you still have much authority

You for anoint candidate now, make you see Akeredolu further relegate you to the IDP ( Internal Displaced Politicians) camp

Akeredolu wey no send you before

No more gra gra for Tinubu, he's mellowing gradually now that his power has been wittled

He's finally grabbing some lessons of life

Where was this his maturity when he solely anointed Sanwo Olu as the governor of Lagos State

Did he allow the people to make their choice

Make him try am, na him radio station that one go first block!

When it comes to power, politicians dey pity one another

Pls who remember the date buhari announce the first lockdown? I want to calculate something, one girl won put lie for my HEAD OO...

Time will reveal what is in the darkness.

Tinubu is right he did not ve any candidate at apc. His favour candidate is at pdp the deputy governor agboola. Politics u see is the more u look the less u see. If u kw u kw

who cares we sha know u're going down with this monster of a party u created

Seeking relevance. Such power is not with you anymore.

See the lazy man u put in Lagos without focus and direction.

Everyone is looking forward to 2023 already. Bullion vans are coming, no need for the talking. Just so you know Ondo is classified as a poor state in the southwest region. Yet, we would be seeing the money moves.

This man and lies....

Wonder how gods lie.... typical Yoruba god..

Good. Though, I doubt any election in Nigeria can be free, fair and credible with our current electoral rules.

Tinubu is learning in the hard way
