The campaign council posited that the APC candidate would with 58 percent margin.
Speaking in Abuja on Tuesday, the member of the council and Director General of Voice of Nigeria (VON), Osita Okechukwu said the council had taken time to study the challenges in the state and came to the conclusion that Akeredolu would come out victoriously in the election.
According to him, the Ondo State governor has within the limited resources in the state done well in the provision of physical infrastructure. He is sure of victory going by his sterling performance.
He said: “The APC National Campagn Committee sent some of us to Ondo State for on the spot assessment of our chances, we spent seven days mingling with people of all classes and cadre. To be frank, without being immodest Aketi’s chances of winning the election hovers between 55-58%.”
Speaking further, he said: “The scant visible complaint the people we interacted with, especially the elites pointed out is that he is tight fisted, which borders on what is euphemistically dubbed ‘Stomach Infrastructure’.
“I don’t harbour any fears of APC losing Ondo State for His Excellency Akeredolu for most of the times what people vote for and indeed are yearning for is good roads, improved health care and quality education.
“I told some people that Akeredolu shares a lot in common with his Edo State counterpart Governor Godwin Obaseki. One, they devoted much more resources in the past four years to physical infrastructural development than stomach infrastructure. This is why some elites are antagonistic to both.
“Secondly, both diligently reconciled with their fellow gubernatorial aspirants within their parties thus going into the election with the spirit of internal democracy advantage.
“Thirdly, they both defeated same candidates in 2016 and one does not see the danger naysayers are hyping.
“Fourthly, don’t forget that they are products of our great party, APC.”
