BARRING the unforeseen, Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) Senator, Ajayi Boroffice, will today declare his governorship ambition in Akure, the Ondo State capital. The declaration will be made at a rally organised by his campaign organisation, associates and supporters.
The camapign office said in a statement that the declaration is the first step in Boroffice’s bid to team up with the progressives to dislodge the ruling Labour Party (LP) from the Alagbaka Government House in November.
Boroffice, a retired varsity don and the Asiwaju of Akokoland, defected from LP to the ACN last year, sparking controversies in the state.
He was accused by the camp of Governor Olusegun Mimiko of betrayal, saying that he took the mandate of the people to the opposition party.
However, the Senator fired back, saying his defection only followed the governor’s earlier step when he defected from the Alliance for Democracy (AD) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and later to the LP.
Other ACN members eyeing the governorship seat are: Akinsehinwa Awodeyi Apata, Sola Iji, Jumoke Anifowose, Tayo Alasoadura, Wale Akinterinwa, Tunji Abayomi, Segun Ojo, Saka Lawal, Joseph Ajatta, Olu Agunloye, Rotimi Akeredolu and Olorunnimbe Farunkanmi.
