Alagbaka house: For Aketi, Ondo APC readies Adelami as formidable rival

Governor, Deputy Relationship Still On Ice

Like his Edo State counterpart, Governor Godwin Obaseki, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State is facing an uphill task in his desire to secure a second term ticket from the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) for the October 10, 2020 governorship poll in the state.
 
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had, two months ago, announced the dates for the Edo and Ondo states’ gubernatorial polls, outlining that while Obaseki and Akeredolu’s first terms will end on November 12, 2020, and February 24, 2021, respectively.

The commission decided to release the dates pursuant to provisions of Section 178(2) of the 1999 Constitution and Section 25(8) of the Electoral Act 2010.

Despite apprehensions in some quarters that the timetable for the two gubernatorial polls might be altered as a result of the COVID-19 lockdown.

Both the Constitution and Electoral Act insists that “elections cannot hold earlier than 150 days and not later than 30 days before the expiration of the term of office of an incumbent governor.”

However, even with the lockdown and other containment measures in place, political actors have continued to strategise in readiness for the governorship elections which would most likely come with a very short notice to nominate standard-bearers.

Based on the formidable opposition they face in their respective states, both Obaseki and Akeredolu have been working behind the scene to see how a doctrine of the right of first refusal could give them automatic tickets for their possible re-election for a second term in office as governors.
