The governor said the strength of the APC will be revealed by the outcome of the Ondo poll.
He explained that the APC in Ondo state is not facing any challenge like what played out during the Edo governorship election.

He said the manner Obaseki was treated created problems for the APC in Edo.
The governor said:
“We had self-inflicted problems in Edo. And I’m the first to admit that anybody who knew what we had gone through in Edo would know that we put ourselves in a situation that was problematic. The way and manner of the exit of our former governor created problems for us in Edo."
