November 16 Poll: LP Candidate, Ebiseni Mocks Aiyedatiwa, Ajayi, Says Both Have Noting To Offer Ondo

November 16 Poll: LP Candidate, Ebiseni Mocks Aiyedatiwa, Ajayi, Says Both Have Noting To Offer Ondo

Olusola Ebiseni, the Labour Party candidate for Ondo State governorship polls, has mocked Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the forthcoming election, stating that the duo have little to offer the residents of Ondo State.

Recall that Aiyedatiwa is the flagbearer for the All Progressives Congress (APC), while Agboola Ajayi is the PDP candidate for the upcoming poll scheduled for November 16, 2024.

Ebiseni, on the other hand, had previously participated in the PDP governorship primary, where he placed third with 99 votes.

Ajayi served as deputy governor from 2017 to 2021 under former governor Rotimi Akeredolu.

In June 2020, Ajayi departed from the APC to join the PDP, citing “irreconcilable differences” with Akeredolu, leading to Aiyedatiwa’s appointment as his successor.

However, during an appearance on Channels Television’s ‘Morning Brief’, Ebiseni urged voters to prioritize the candidates’ qualifications over party affiliations.

He contended that both Aiyedatiwa, the APC candidate, and Ajayi “lack substance,” asserting that he is the most suitable candidate for the governorship.

The politician said: “It is not the crisis of any political party at their national level that will determine who will become governor in states.

“It is the pedigree of the candidates and the performances of the political party when they were in power; remember, APC took over from the Labour Party in 2017.

“Eight years later, ask the people of Ondo State what APC has delivered. The two candidates from either PDP or APC are both APC candidates. PDP has no candidates in this election.”

Ebiseni called Ajayi the “so-called candidate of the PDP,” noting that Ajayi was Akeredolu’s deputy and Aiyedatiwa was also a former deputy.

“I was surprised listening to both of them. They are members of the same family and have nothing to offer the people of Ondo State,” he said.

It as  reported that Ebiseni is a familiar figure in Ondo politics, serving as a three-time commissioner and a delegate at the 2014 national conference.
