The Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa has told other aspirants to the state governorship election that there is no vacancy, pointing out that he has the structures, the people and the competence to emerge the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the April 20^th primary election.

The Governor who spoke on Friday after the screening exercise in Abuja stated that his coming out to continue as Governor of Ondo State wasn’t borne out of his own ambition or desire but because of the yearnings and aspirations of the people.

On his advice to his distractors, he said, “I should just advise them to repent and try to go to the field and work. If they are interested in the seat and the seat is not vacant that is why they’re trying to do all that they are doing.

“You see, we’re all indigenes of Ondo State and we’re all qualified to run to be the Governor of Ondo State but there is a sitting Governor. That’s 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 for the job. Yes because of the peace in the state and some of the programmes that have been rolled out to the people.

“In fact, like I said the other time, my coming out to continue as Governor of Ondo State wasn’t borne out of my own ambition or desire but because of the yearnings and aspirations of the people; the endorsement of the traditional rulers, the students, artisans, everybody; the community leaders, even the civil servants, everybody is happy with the current state (of affairs); peace and security for the day people and they are going about their businesses without fear,” he added.
