Gbenga Edema, one of the aspirants who contested the April 20 gubernatorial primaries of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ondo State, has picked the governorship ticket of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP.
Edema , a former Chairman of the Ondo State Oil Producing Area Development Commission, OSOPADEC, emerged as the NNPP candidate after he was ratified during a substitution governorship primary of the party held in Akure, the state capital. The former candidate of the party, Oluwatosin Ayeni, withdrew from the governorship race a few weeks after polling 100 votes to defeat his sole rival, Prof Ibrahim Ajagunna, at the party’s primary on April 26.
'I have carefully studied the manifesto of the New Nigeria Peoples Party , which has been skillfully put together by some great minds, and I have found out that a great deal aligns with our vision as encapsulated in the Igbega Ondo manifesto,' he said. 'The demise of the All Progressives Congress is just around the corner, like its sister, the Peoples Democratic Party , from which it took over the reign of power.
