The incumbent governor of Ondo State, Lucky Ayiedatiwa, has warned other aspirants for the State’s governorship election not to waste their time and resources for the non-vacant position in the Government House.
Aiyedatiwa spoke to newsmen on the sidelines after appearing before the All Progressives Congress (APC) inaugurated Screening Committee at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja on Friday.
He expressed happiness that he got a clean bill of health despite the controversies trailing the authenticity of his certificate, advising those behind the speculations to repent and concentrate on working hard in the field ahead of the primary.
He chided them for picking interest in a seat that is not vacant, advising those planning to pull him down to repent.
He also spoke on the edge he has over other aspirants, stressing: “We are all indigenes of Ondo State and we are all qualified to run to be the Governor of Ondo state but there is a sitting governor. That is what I am saying that I have the structures; the people and the competence.
“Within the few months that I assumed office they have seen clearly that this is the best man of the job.,” he said.
