Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, yesterday, denied nursing any presidential ambition in 2023, describing it as a ‘needless distraction’.
The latest poster showed an Akeredolu/Buni joint APC ticket. Mai Mala Buni is the Chairman of the APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee and governor of Yobe State.
But the governor dismissed the development. The statement reads: “Undoubtedly, the development is no less a needless distraction.
“Though Mr. Governor’s constitutional right, qualification and competencies are not in doubt, this particular campaign does not represent in any manner, his immediate political disposition.
“For emphasis, Governor Akeredolu who has just been re-elected wishes to be left to focus on deepening good governance in Ondo State.
