Ondo2020: Former DG of Aketi Campaign Organisation and Top Guber Aspirant Declares for Ife Oyedele

A frontline APC governorship aspirant in Ondo State and former lnformation Commissioner, Mr. Banji Ayiloge, has adopted Engr. Ife Oyedele as his preferred choice for the governorship seat of the State.

With this development, Oyedele remains the only guber aspirant, so far,  who has received the endorsement of another top aspirant.

Ayiloge, who has been consistent in  airing his disapproval of Governor Akeredolu's style of governance was the Director-General of Aketi Campaign Organisation in 2012, when the Governor contested under the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).

The APC stalwart recently suspended his governorship bid and announced his decision to fuse his campaign structure into Engr. Ifeoluwa Oyedele Campaign Organisation. He based his decision on what he described as “ Oyedele's character, capacity, humble personality, and for not seeing himself as the only bulb in the room."

Oyedele, reacting to this development in a statement through his media aide, Yomi Adebayo, said the decision of Ayiloge, has again confirmed that he is a true progressive who understands that government is instituted for the common good of all and not for personal interest. He said Ayiloge has always placed service to the people above personal gains.

"Mr. Ayiloge is a refined and consistent politician. He is one of the quality men that worked for the success of Baba Adefarati's administration where he served as  Information Commissioner," Oyedele said.

"Access to information was democratized during his time. This is one of the reasons the government is adjudged till today as one of the few veritable templates for good governance"

The aspirant who said he is deeply thankful to Mr. Ayiloge for considering him ahead of other aspirants of the Party described Mr. Ayiloge's decision as a huge catalyst and a game changer for his governorship project.

"Mr. Ayiloge’s support is unconditional and I pray that God shall grant him good health to continue to offer genuine services to the good people of Ondo State and the rest of humanity" Oyedele said.

The governorship hopeful reiterated his commitment to a campaign devoid of character assassination and politics of bitterness.
