An APC chieftain in Ondo, Olusola Oke, says he is confident of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s victory in the governorship race.

Mr Oke, a former governorship aspirant of APC, spoke with journalists on Saturday shortly after he cast his vote at Unit 005, Ilowo, Ward 003 in Ilaje LGA.

He hoped that Mr Aiyedatiwa would win the ongoing election, noting that the opposition parties were too weak to win.

Mr Oke said the election was peaceful, especially with the conduct of the eligible voters performing their rights without any fear or intimidation.

“Election is peaceful everywhere. You can understand the joy of the people to come over and cast their votes in spite of the difficult terrain as a result of the water side area.

“This time has been long waited for. The governorship candidate of the APC will win the election because it is very visible. Because the broom has swung very clean in our direction for victory.

“There is no credible opposition in the state, and the governor came from an environment where the people have long been yearning for good leadership. We will deliver the votes for him. I can assure you that the governor will win clean,” he said.

Mr Oke, however, urged the people also to sustain the peace that was currently being experienced in the state, saying that the election had been going on smoothly.
