Three gubernatorial candidates in Ondo State have stepped down from the upcoming election and endorsed incumbent Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa for Saturday’s poll.
The candidates represent the Accord Party (AP), the National Rescue Movement (NRM), and the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Their withdrawal, announced just a day before the election, follows an interactive event organised by the APC National Campaign Council.
