October 10 Poll: Gov Akeredolu Flags Off Campaign |The Source

By Ayodele Oni, Akure

All is set for the flag-off rally for the re-election of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN, and his running mate, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, Saturday.

Chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), including the vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo and members of the campaign committee, are expected at the event.

A statement signed by spokesman of campaign committee, Richard Olabode, explained that the event, which holds at the Akure township stadium will be Covid-19 compliant.

Akeredolu, the incumbent Governor, emerged candidate of the party at its primary held last month after defeating other aspirants, including Chief Olusola Oke, SAN, and Mr Isaac Kekemeke.

Aspirants that lost in the primary, have, however, thrown their support at him, and collapsed their structures to back the flag bearer after his visits to solicit their backing.

The running mate, Aiyedatiwa, is from the southern senatorial district of the state.
