In a bid to ensure success in the upcoming gubernatorial elections in Ondo State, President Bola Tinubu has appointed Hon Tunji Ojo, the Minister for Interior, as the political leader for the state.
This strategic move is expected to bring about a significant change in the political landscape of the state.
During a recent meeting held in Abuja, Hon Tunji Ojo disclosed his new appointment by the President to all the local government chairmen and leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State.
The Minister further revealed that President Tinubu had directed him to announce Governor Ayedatiwa as the preferred candidate for the elections.
To underscore the President’s commitment to ensuring a successful campaign, substantial funds have been allocated to support the project. This financial backing aims to strengthen the party’s positions and ensure a smooth election process.
The primary objective of the meeting was to foster unity and peace within the APC in Ondo State, especially following the outcome of the primary elections.
Hon Tunji Ojo stated that he had been tasked by the President to select the electoral and appeal committee, which will be announced in the coming week.
The Minister also highlighted the importance of party cohesion and stressed that the President has arranged a meeting with all the aspirants and key party leaders to strategize and secure a resounding victory at the polls.
Hon Tunji Ojo’s appointment as the political leader of Ondo State signifies a new chapter in the state’s political journey. As the APC gears up for the elections, all eyes are now on Governor Ayedatiwa and the party leadership to effectively navigate the campaign and deliver on their promises to the people of Ondo State.
The gubernatorial elections in Ondo State are scheduled to take place later this year, and political observers anticipate a keenly contested race.
