By Dayo Johnson Akure
The leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ondo State has disowned former Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Rasaq Obe, over his outburst that President Bola Tinubu may lose the 2027 presidential election in the state following the party’s decision to drop some aspirants backed by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.
Obe was an aspirant for the Ifedore/Idanre Federal Constituency. He lost the party’s ticket to the incumbent, Festus Akingbaso.
Speaking during a parley with newsmen at the Nigeria Union of Journalists Press Centre in Akure, State Chairman, Hon Kolawole Babatunde, said the former commissioner was speaking for himself and could not speak for the party or the people of the state.
