The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress Governorship Campaign in Ondo State, who is also the Plateau State Governor, Mr. Simon Lalong, on Tuesday said the party was ready for the election in the state.
Lalong said this in an interview with State House correspondents shortly after he met with Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said to show its readiness for the election, the party would start its campaign on Thursday.
“For us, our party is ready for election in Ondo State. In fact, we are flagging off our campaigns on Thursday. So, we are very ready,” the governor said.
On threats by the Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, that elections could not go as scheduled without resolving the issue of the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Lalong said the issue remained an internal matter of the PDP.
He said, “I don’t like joining issues with the incumbent because he is not contesting election. He is not the candidate for Ondo.
“I have said here that if they have issues within their party, they should go and resolve that issue within the PDP. This is not a PDP matter.”
