The All Progressives Congress (APC) has submitted the name of a former President of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Rotimi Akeredolu, to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as its candidate for Ondo State governorship election scheduled to hold November 26.
Akeredolu’s name was submitted to INEC by the National Organising Secretary of the APC, Senator Osita Izunaso.
The name of Agboola Ajayi was also submitted as deputy governorship candidate.
This comes after the National Working Committee rejected a recommendation by the party’s Appeals Commitee for a fresh primary to be conduction following allegations of irregularities in the one that produced Akeredolu as flagbearer.
