The national spokesman for the All Progressives Congress, Felix Morka in a recent statement conveyed a clear message to Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State regarding the upcoming governorship election on November 16, 2024.
Morka speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today program, emphasized that there will be no automatic ticket for Aiyedatiwa, asserting the democratic values of the party where every candidate must earn their nomination.
“We are a democratic party; we are a progress party; we don’t give anything to people; people have to justify and earn it. Whatever preference anyone may have, it is all subject to the democratic decision of the party members who will participate in our primaries,” stated Morka during the interview.
He also highlighted the party’s commitment to competition and fairness, stating, “We don’t give free gifts in APC; we contest and we compete and we win whatever it is we can get in terms of representation.”
Addressing the potential zoning of the governorship ticket in Ondo, Morka mentioned, “We are yet to engage on zoning. We will explain to the people if and when we do that.”
Governor Aiyedatiwa assumed office as the substantive governor of Ondo State on December 27, 2023, following the passing of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has scheduled the Ondo State Governorship Poll for November 16, 2024.
