Days after meeting Tinubu, prominent APC governor breaks silence on presidential ambition
Meanwhile, Akeredolu had dissociated himself from promotional activities linking him with the 2023 presidential election.
The Ondo governor described the development as a mere needless distraction.
Legit.ng gathered that Akeredolu’s position was contained in a statement issued by his chief press secretary, Richard Olatunde. Olatunde reiterated that his principal had nothing to do with the pseudo-campaigners.
He noted that campaign posters urging Akeredolu to throw his hat into the ring and contest the 2023 presidential election had been flying around in some sections of social media but distanced the governor from it.
