Ondo 2020 : We’ll beat PDP silly – Ambassador Iji

★★★ Kekemeke declares support for Akeredolu

Two of the aspirants who contested the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Primary Election with Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu on Monday have declared total support for the Governor’s reelection.

The aspirants, Ambassador Sola Iji and Isaacs Kekemeke spoke after the Governor paid them an unscheduled visit barely 24 hours after his victory at the primary election.

Iji said the opposition PDP would be disappointed by the positive outcome of the reconciliation meeting the Governor is holding with the co-aspirants.

Assuring that the APC will beat the PDP Silly at the October 10 2020 Governorship election, Iji said the PDP must have been envisaging a divided house after the primary election.

“Expect consistency from us. When I was campaigning, I said I had nothing against his Excellency. I have contested with him and I see his victory as victory for our party. Whoever the PDP picks, we will beat them silly, ” Iji said.

In his own remarks after a closed door meeting with Akeredolu, Kekemeke said as a former chairman of the party, he will never abandon the APC for any party.

He said he will stand and support Governor Akeredolu as the candidate of the party and ensure that APC emerge victorious at the poll

Kekemeke said he was surprised to see the leader of the party and Governor of the state, describing the visit as a pleasant surprise.

“Like the Governor said, we have spoken very frankly and I’m happy that he tolerated my frankness. I have said I will work with him. I shall not be going to any party or court. I will work hard to see that Ondo remains an APC state. “
