How Aiyedatiwa won APC governorship primary

Aiyedatiwa’s primary election victory was decisive. He secured 48,569 votes to beat his closest rival, Mayowa Akinfolarin, who polled 15,343 votes. The APC candidate’s campaign focus on promoting development and progress in Ondo State likely resonated with voters.

Obasanjo’s support for Aiyedatiwa is expected to boost his chances in the election. The former president’s influence and reputation could help sway undecided voters and mobilize support for Aiyedatiwa’s candidacy.

The Ondo governorship election is scheduled to take place on November 16, and Aiyedatiwa’s victory would be a significant win for the APC in the state.
