Ahead of the Ondo state governorship election, scheduled for Saturday, November 16, 2024, the family of the late former governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, and the ASEI Human Rights of Nigeria have declared their support for the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate, Bamidele Akingboye.
During a press briefing in Akure, the state capital, they called on voters to prioritize the integrity and capability of candidates over party affiliations.
Oluwafemi Akeredolu, the younger brother of the late governor, and Oba Adewumi Babalola, national president of ASEI Human Rights, noted that the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, would not receive their endorsement in the forthcoming election.
