Former Ondo Deputy Gov, Agboola Emerges PDP Candidate, Sets To Battle Aiyedatiwa

Mr. Agboola Ajayi has emerged as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the November governorship election in Ondo State.

The former deputy governor of the state polled 264 votes in the party primary.

Agboola was the former deputy governor to the late governor, Rotimi Akeredolu before they parted ways following irreconcilable differences.

Attempts to impeach Ajayi during the crisis between him and the late Akeredolu failed.

His closet rival, a former member of the House of Representatives, Kolade Akinjo, got 157 votes.

Agboola would be contesting the governorship seat with Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and other candidates.
