The race for the 2024 governorship election in Ondo State, with Lucky Aiyedatiwa as the incumbent governor, may have kicked off, Vanguard reported on Friday.
It was gathered that Governor Aiyedatiwa has started consulting with party leaders in his maiden bid to run for office.
Sources said that Aiyedatiwa was at the Lagos residence of President Bola Tinubu to inform him of his intention to run.
But aides to the governor said that the governor was at the Lagos residence of the president to officially inform him of the death of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and not to discuss politics.
The aide, who spoke in confidence, said that it was too early for the governor to start such politicking.
The son of the late governor Akeredolu, Babajide, was at the residence of President Tinubu to brief him on the burial arrangements of his late father, Vanguard reported.
Recall that Aiyedatiwa was at the lbadan residence of the Akeredolu’s, where he met with the wife, Betty, and the family members.
He left the Akeredolu residence for Lagos to meet with President Tinubu.
Details of his meeting with the president could not be confirmed at the time of filing this report.
