'Drop Me And Lose Ondo State In 2021' - Akeredolu Warns APC Leaders

Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu

Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has come out to speak on his second term bid, charging the leadership of the ruling party APC, to either retain him as their candidate or face losing the state to another party.

The governor revealed this during an interview section with journalists in Abuja, adding that he is the only person that can hand over Ondo state back to the ruling party.

He said: 

“I didn’t ask to become governor of Ondo State; the people sought me out to be their leader. As far as I am concerned power belongs to God and not to any man or leader. It is God who gives power and not any human being. That was why I ran and won the primary of the last governorship election in Ondo State without paying people money as other contestants did.

 “I can tell you that there is no threat or panic whatsoever to my second term election. What I do know for sure is that if APC goes ahead to pick another person as their governorship candidate for Ondo State the party would lose the state.

“But with me on the ballot, we will win a landslide for APC in Ondo State. That is certain because God’s hands are with me and I cannot fail in my second term bid. My trust is in God and not in any man with clay feet.”

It is understood that he is making this clear to the leadership of the All Progressive Congress  (APC), following the scenario that happened in Lagos State.
