PDP Aspirant Opts Out Of Ondo Governorship Race

One of the aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party in the Ondo state governorship election, John Ola-Mafo, has withdrawn from the race.

Ola-Mafo announced this in a statement on Wednesday in Okitipupa.

“The state yearns for a true leader who will make the goals and aspirations and the overall interest of the citizenry to be supreme objective of government policies and programmes,” he said.

Ola-Mafo thanked supporters across the state who believed in his vision and who contributed towards actualising his dream.

“With a great sense of responsibility and unbroken faith in the future of Ondo State, I announce my formal withdrawal from the governorship race, having been an aspirant on the platform of the PDP.”

“My exit from the contest is predicated on circumstances beyond my control as history is my witness as I withdraw from the governorship race.”

“I made myself available in the first place because I believed I have what it takes, in terms of experience, vision, capacity, and general competence, to govern the state in a way to guarantee sustainable development in line with the yearnings and aspiration of the people of the state.”

“From the activities of the present administration and disposition of the people, it is clear that the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state has failed to meet the expectations of the people.”

“They have proven to be incapable of meeting the lofty objectives of the masses.”
