Eyes are on the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State as it prepares for governorship poll.<\/p>\n
Among the aspirants itching to succeed Governor Rotimi Akeredolu is Bukola Adetula, who incidentally hails from Owo Kingdom as the incumbent.<\/p>\n
Akeredolu is seeking a second term in office. Adetula, who ran the race with him in 2016, is undeterred. He said he has what it takes to rule the state.<\/p>\n
He attributed his confidence to God\u2019s grace, support from various quarters, as well as the Ondo people, who are groaning under the burden of rulership.<\/p>\n
According Yinka Esho, the spokesperson of the Bibire Mobilisation Group, Adetula, on the occasion of his grandfather\u2019s remembrance in which family members, friends, well-wishers, as well as hundreds of party supporters gathered, seized the opportunity to preach party cohesion and speak on his aspiration.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis gathering of a mammoth crowd at his ZOKA Castle residence unruffled some feathers and unsettled some individuals who felt threatened by his aspiration.<\/p>\n
At some point, some weird-looking people stormed his residence and were it not for the timely intervention of security agents at the event, the hoodlums would have unleashed terror and distrupted the event.<\/p>\n
Despite the intrusion, however, the celebration moved to the ancestral home of the Adetulas, the crowd undeterred and unperturbed by the earlier development.<\/p>\n
At his Sasere ancestral Compound in the heart of Owo, he was received by members of his extended family. He thereafter, proceeded in the company of his crowd amidst various cultural and acrobatic display groups and excited okada riders, and danced through the market, amid cheers by market women and passers-by to pay homage to the Olowo of Owo, Oba Gbadegesin Ogunoye III. There, he received the Olowo\u2019s royal blessings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
