One of the governorship aspirants of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Unity Group in Ondo State, Prince Jimi Odimayo, has officially distanced himself from the purported endorsement of Chief Olusola Oke as the consensus candidate of the group ahead of the APC’s primaries in Ondo State.
In a statement by his campaign organisation, signed by Yemi Akintomide, the director of Media and Communication, Odimayo said on Tuesday, that the unpatriotic move of the chairman of the forum, Alhaji Alli Olanusi, and few unscrupulous members of the screening committee chaired by Senator Yele Omogunwa, to say the least, is a high point of disappointment and embarrassment to the larger number of members of Unity Forum, and by extension, our campaign organisation and the electorates in our darling Sunshine State.
The full state reads:
OUR STANCE ON FAKE REPORT ANNOUNCED BY ALHAJI ALLI OLANUSI
We at OMO’BA JIMI ODIMAYO CAMPAIGN Organisation wish to expressly distance our Principal, OMO’BA JIMI ODIMAYO and the entire campaign structure in all the eighteen council areas of Ondo State from the purported report and subsequent announcement of Chief Olushola Oke as the consensus aspirant of the Unity Forum of our dear party, All Progressives Congress (APC).
This unpatriotic move of the chairman of the forum, Alhaji Alli Olanusi and few unscrupulous members of the screening committee chaired by Senator Yele Omogunwa, to say the least, is a high point of disappointment and embarrassment to the larger number of members of Unity Forum, and by extension, our campaign organisation and electorate in our darling Sunshine State.
However, we salute the steadfastness, moral and integrity displayed by the secretary of screening committee, Prof. Sola Ehindero and other distinguished members of the committee who insisted that such evil report is fake and never a product of a genuine and authentic deliberations of the committee.
While we await the final response and joint decision of the Aspirants’ Forum of Unity Forum, we wish to reiterate our stand to continue to put the interest of the masses and electorate in our state in high esteem, and never to deviate from the main focus of our principal to liberate them from the present shackle of poverty and under development.
We shall continue our consultations across the State with the view to launch a friendly, all embracing and popular campaigns across the state in due course.
We wish our loyal party members and committed followers a coronavirus free days, enjoying all to #Stayhome, #Staysafe and #TakeResponsibility for all of us to witness the election and the victory of our principal in the October 10, Governorship Election.
