Barely 24 hours to the governorship election in Ondo State, the National Conscience Party (NCP), has declared its support for the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN).
The governorship candidate of the NCP in the election, Obayoriju Jimoh Abass, who disclosed this in Akure yesterday, said the support for Akeredolu became necessary because of the pedigree of the APC candidate.
According to him, “After accessing the political situation and the pedigree of all the candidates of the political parties in the election, we have decided to queue behind Akeredolu in the governorship election.”

He added that aside the experience and background of the APC candidate, Akeredolu is contesting the election on a bigger platform.
“We discover that our involvement in the election which is to explore the capacity of the youth to lead was in tandem with the programmes and ideology of Akeredolu.”
He said the adoption of Akeredolu by the NCP was coming at the wake of the election after painstakingly accessing all the political parties, candidates and their programmes for the people of the state.
The party urged his supporters across the 18 councils in the state to vote for Akeredolu in the Saturday election, urging the people of the state to conduct themselves in a manner that is devoid of crisis.
