Meanwhile there is anxiety in Akure in spite of the horse trading as no one knows where the pendulum will swing.
While 3,127 APC delegates will elect its governorship standard bearer today, PDP will pick its candidate on Wednesday.
Ahead of the shadow poll, Ondo State Governor Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN) and his estranged deputy, Agboola Ajayi, of the PDP, continued their media war on Sunday.
The deputy governor accused Akeredolu of running the state aground. The governor said he would not allow Ajayi to distract him from his preparation for today’s primary.
