Senator Ajayi Boroffice
The Senator representing Ondo North, Prof. Ajayi Boroffice, has faulted the claims in some quarters that national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu has anointed a candidate ahead of the governorship election in the state.
Boroffice said all the 25 governorship aspirants have the chances of emerging the governorship flag bearer.
The senator in a statement issued in Akure, through his media aide, Kayode Adeniyi, described the rumour of endorsement as needless distraction that would never aid its promoters.
He called on the party’s 3,000 delegates to remain vigilant and steadfast as some desperate politicians might have ignited the rumour in an attempt to derail APC’s focus on free, fair, credible and transparent primary election.
Boroffice said he got assurances from Tinubu, former interim National Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande and party leaders in the Southwest geopolitical zone that there was nothing like anointed aspirant or endorsement.
The Asiwaju of Akokoland said: “As an aspirant and democrat, I have had intimate interactions and engagements with party delegates over the years.
“The support I enjoy from them is reassuring. No distraction, whether calculated or accidental, can derail our focus on August 27, the scheduled date for primary election. My supporters and I are ready to participate and win.”
