The Senior Special Assistant to the Ondo State Governor on Public Engagement, Steve Otaloro, has denied a report that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa was supporting some National Assembly candidates of other parties ahead of the 2027 general elections.
A media report said Aiyedatiwa had shifted his support from the All Progressives Congress candidate for Ondo South Senatorial District, Isaacs Kekemeke, to the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the district, Matthew Oyerinmade.
Otaloro, in a statement on Monday, said the governor had never supported and would never support any candidate against the candidates of the APC in the forthcoming election.
According to him, the governor had never authorised anyone to speak on his behalf in support of any opposition candidate, and any claim suggesting otherwise should be treated as false, mischievous and politically motivated.
