Akure, Ondo – A Yoruba chieftain, Barrister Oladotun Hassan, has predicted the possible winner in the September governorship election in Ondo state.
In an exclusive interview with Legit.ng, the legal practitioner explained that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the current governor of the state, has the upper hand in winning the election.
He maintained that the governor and his strongest opponent, Agboola Ajayi, will have to campaign on their achievement and time with the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
Governor Aiyeatiwa is the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), while Agboola is the flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the forthcoming election.
According to Hassan, both Aiyedatiwa and Agboola are former deputies of the late Governor Akeredolu, and they based their campaigns on this premise.
But to the Yoruba chieftain, Aiyedatiwa succeeded Akeredolu and has, in the shortest period of time, performed exceptionally since the demise of the late former governor.
He said:
TimesNow earlier reported that Agboola Ajayi, the former deputy governor of Ondo state under the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, has won the PDP governorship ticket in the state.
The former APC chieftain will challenge incumbent Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa in the September governorship election in Ondo.
Agboola had joined the PDP from APC ahead of the 2016 Ondo state governorship election, where he contested for the party’s ticket and lost to Eyitayo Jegede.
