Ondo State Governor, Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu has reinforced his support for the nomination of Senator Tayo Alasoadura as a member of the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
The charge became imperative following the purported position taken by a faceless group, APC Solidarity Stakeholders, against the nomination of the Akure born senator of the Eighth National Assembly.
A statement by his Chief Press Secretary(CPS) Segun Ajiboye emphasised that the so-called group is not just faceless, but a divisive aberration unknown to all legitimate organs of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
It said” To say the least, the group merely exits in the hallucinating minds of a few individuals who have surrendered themselves to ignoble self-abnegation.
“Mr. Governor considers the call for the withdrawal of Alasoadura’s nomination as a contrived distraction which stands logic in the head. For the records, Alasoadura, who served meritoriously as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is one of the few enviable brains behind the Petroleum Industry and Governance Bill (PIGB) which currently awaits Presidential Assent.
“As a Chartered Accountant of over 30 years experience who doubled as chairman of the Finance Commissioners’ Forum for six years while he served as Finance Commissioner in Ondo State, Mr. Governor believes strongly that not only APC, but the entire citizenry in the State will derive maximum benefit from his stay at the Federal Executive Council.
“There could not have been a better ministerial nominee from the APC in Ondo State than Alasoadura at the moment”, he said.
