Dr Ayodele Olorunfemi has clinched the gubernatorial ticket of the Labour Party (LP) in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Ondo State.
The party’s primaries, held on Friday at the secretariat in the state capital of Akure, produced Olorunfemi as the winner.
The primary election committee chairman, Hon. Olusola Ayodele, revealed that only Olorunfemi obtained the party’s ₦25 million nomination form out of the three candidates who first expressed interest.
He said: “We have no other option than to pronounce the sole aspirant, Dr Ayo Olorunfemi, having fulfilled the condition in line with the guidelines, as elected and returned unopposed.”
Olorunfemi, in his acceptance speech, said he would embark on welfare programmes if elected governor of Ondo State.
“The Labour Party, being a socialist-oriented political party, will focus on governance that reflects people, people and people,” he said.
