Aiyedatiwa assumed office in December 2023 following the death of the former governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, and is expected to complete their joint tenure, ending in February 2025. However, he is also eligible to contest the November 16 governorship poll in the state.<\/p>\n<p>APC&#8217;s spokesperson, Felix Morka, clarified during a television interview that the party does not offer &#8220;free gifts&#8221; and that positions are meant to be contested. Morka emphasized the democratic principles of the party, stating that decisions on candidates are subject to the democratic process involving party members in direct or indirect primaries.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the possibility of offering Aiyedatiwa the right of first refusal, Morka explained that such discussions had not taken place, and any candidate, including the governor, would need to justify their suitability, qualification, or criteria through the democratic decision of party members in the primaries. He highlighted that APC does not provide automatic tickets but encourages competition within the party.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-1 flex justify-start gap-3 empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center justify-center lg:justify-start mt-0 -ml-1 visible\"><button class=\"flex items-center gap-1.5 rounded-md p-1 text-xs hover:text-gray-950 dark:text-gray-400 dark:hover:text-gray-200 disabled:dark:hover:text-gray-400 md:invisible md:group-hover:visible md:group-[.final-completion]:visible\"><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex items-center gap-1.5 text-xs\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"w-full pt-2 md:pt-0 dark:border-white\/20 md:border-transparent md:dark:border-transparent md:w-[calc(100%-.5rem)]\">\n<form class=\"stretch mx-2 flex flex-row gap-3 last:mb-2 md:mx-4 md:last:mb-6 lg:mx-auto lg:max-w-2xl xl:max-w-3xl\">\n<div class=\"relative flex h-full flex-1 items-stretch md:flex-col\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full items-center\">\n<div class=\"overflow-hidden [&amp;:has(textarea:focus)]:border-token-border-xheavy [&amp;:has(textarea:focus)]:shadow-[0_2px_6px_rgba(0,0,0,.05)] flex flex-col w-full dark:border-token-border-heavy flex-grow relative border border-token-border-heavy dark:text-white rounded-2xl bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 shadow-[0_0_0_2px_rgba(255,255,255,0.95)] dark:shadow-[0_0_0_2px_rgba(52,53,65,0.95)]\">\n<div data-grammarly-part=\"button\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"amkYk\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"ptGJG\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that there will be no automatic ticket for Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State in the upcoming 2024 governorship election.
