Ahead of the forthcoming Ondo State governorship election scheduled for November 16, 2024, a significant development has emerged within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state. Some pro-APC groups have decided to move against the incumbent Deputy Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and have declared their support for the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate, Benson Akingboye.
This move indicates a crack within the APC in Ondo State, as these groups have chosen to back Akingboye over their own party’s candidate. The decision is seen as a strategic shift, possibly influenced by various factors including internal party dynamics and the appeal of Akingboye’s campaign promises.
The support from these APC groups could potentially impact the electoral landscape in Ondo State, given the influence and voter base these groups command. This development adds a new layer of complexity to the already competitive governorship race in the state.
The governorship election in Ondo State is expected to be highly contested, with various candidates from different political parties vying for the top seat. The endorsement of Akingboye by these APC groups is likely to be a significant factor in the campaign ahead of the election.
