Rilwan Olanrewaju, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has expressed optimism that his party will defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming governorship election in Ondo state.
In an exclusive interview with TimesNow.com.ng, Olanrewaju said the party has the chance of winning the forthcoming election in the state if the poll is free and fair and the APC does not attempt to interfere with the electoral process.
The PDP chieftain claimed that the ruling APC was known for rigging elections into power, adding that the current ruling party has been divided as some members have been accusing Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, pointing to the fact that the PDP has the chance of winning.
He maintained that the election had a tendency to be unfree and fair. He compared the Kogi state governorship election to the one in Ondo, where, according to him, there was massive rigging.
He said:
TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that Governor Aiyedatiwa of Ondo has been predicted to be the lucky winner of the September governorship election in the state.
Barrister Oladotun Hassan, a legal practitioner, opined that the governor has an upper hand in the election because he will build on the achievement of late former governor Rotimi Akeredolu.
Hassan said Aiyedatiwa’s strongest rival, Agboola Ajayi, has nothing to campaign with except for his days with Akeredolu, which was the same with the current governor.
