Lagos Governor and Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) National Campaign Council for Ondo Governorship election, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said on Saturday that Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu enjoys the endorsement of the party’s national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
He also said that Akeredolu has the blessings of the entire party structure from the national to the state level.
Sanwo-Olu made the disclosure while speaking with newsmen on Saturday at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja after the inauguration of the 104-member National Campaign Council by Governor Mai Mala Buni, the Chairman Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee (CENCPC).
His words: “The endorsement was not only his (Asiwaju Tinubu) endorsement but a collective endorsement. In this endorsement you saw Senator Borofice, you have seen our brother, Olusola Oke, you see meetings where Kekemeke was in attendance, you see meetings where Dr. Abraham was in attendance.
“After the primary they all came together even before our choice of the National Council. In Ondo State, they have resolved their problem themselves and all of them said we are supporting the candidate of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu so it is a unified thing.

“We know that the most critical thing is the people of Ondo State. It is about good governance, it is about what he is doing.
“It is not an easy job but we believe in him (Akeredolu), we believe that what he has started as a true Progressive he will take Ondo to higher level.
“He is doing very well, we have seen it, he still has the capacity, he has the energy to further advance what he is currently doing. So that is why we are with him and we know he will do that.”
The Governor assured the campaign would be issue- based and devoid of any acrimony.
He further said the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Eyitayo Jegede, are on wild goose chase, advising them not to waste their time and energy as voters have resolved to go for a progressive government.
