The governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, has bragged about defeating the new consensus candidate emerging from the Unity Forum.
12 aspirants had contested to be the party’s consensus candidate ahead of the party’s primary election scheduled to hold in July, in hopes of unseating Gov Akeredolu.
The governor however spoke through the commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo in Akure, stating that “I am prepared to go into party primary with any of them. Remember that I defeated all of them before. So, this will not be an exception.
“Governor Akeredolu is more focused on delivering good governance to the of and preparing for the primary rather than dissipating energy trying to create problems in the Unity Forum.
“He is a politician that does not undermine anybody but allow things to take a natural course.
“The lesson from what is happening in the Unity Forum is that there is a limit to the speed of lie. Every lie has an expiry date. The limit of every lie is truth and conscience.
“There is none among those governorship aspirants that the governor had not had a personal encounter with in terms of conflicting relationship but they will always come together as leaders of the party and they will settle.
