Ondo state governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has affirmed that the former APC state chairman, Hon. Isaacs Kekemeke is in the race for the position of National Vice Chairman (South West). Kekemeke with the full backing of all governors in the southwest.

It would be recalled that critical stakeholders in the southwest had earlier micro zoned the positions that were brought to the region.

Among these was the National Vice Chairman which was retained in Ondo and the Secretary who was reserved for the Oyo/Osun axis.

In a statement, Akeredolu said” Succinctly, Kekemeke’s aspiration is not just an Ondo project; it’s a Southwest project. He has paid his dues and that is exactly what Mr. Governor has rallied his colleagues to reciprocate.

“Those who are peddling other stories such as national secretary outside Oyo and Osun axis are instruments in the hands of external forces desirous to create division amongst leaders in the Southwest in order to impose persons on the Party.

“For emphasis, what we are going for is national vice chairman with Kekemeke as our candidate and not the national secretary. Those outside the southwest who are attempting to macrozone our offices for us in Southwest are only creating unnecessary confusion and any such of their permutations outside the decision of stakeholders in the Southwest should be ignored.
