The All Progressives Congress has scheduled Monday, April 29, to issue a certificate of return to Governor Lucky Ayiedatiwa.
Ayiedatiwa, the flagbearer of the APC, emerged victorious in the Ondo governorship poll.
This was made known by the APC Deputy National Organising Secretary, Nze Chidi Duru, in a statement on Monday in Abuja.
He said the presentation of the certificate will be held at 4 pm after the weekly meeting of the National Working Committee at the National Secretariat of the party in Abuja.
Governor Aiyedatiwa was declared the winner of the April 20 APC governorship shadow election by the Governor Usman Ododo-led 7-man primary election committee, according to Naija News.
However, the result was contested over allegations of irregularities and violence in some polling units.
Consequently, Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, the senator representing Ondo South Senatorial District, Olusola Oke, Folakemi Omogoroye, Olugbenga Edema, Jimi Odimayo, and Wale Akinterinwa filed petitions challenging Aiyedatiwa’s victory.
They also demanded the cancellation of the governorship primary and the conduct of a fresh primary.
Three days after the election, the party’s National Chairman, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, met with the aggrieved aspirants who participated in the primary election and appealed to them to support Aiyedatiwa in the November governorship election.
However, the National Deputy Chairman of the APC (South West), Isaacs Kekemeke, and Akinterinwa were absent from the meeting.
