Less than 24 hours before the governorship election in Ondo State, Oluwafemi Akeredolu, the younger brother of the late former governor Rotimi Akeredolu, publicly declared his support for the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate, Mr. Bamidele Akingboye.
Oluwafemi made the announcement at an event in Akure, the state capital, on Thursday, where he expressed confidence in Akingboye’s vision for the state.
He highlighted the candidate’s plan to harness Ondo’s underutilized resources, particularly the Ondo Seaport, which remains largely undeveloped despite its significant potential as an economic powerhouse for the state.

He said, “I am the youngest brother of the late Oluwarotimi Akeredolu — same father, same mother. Our family is known for being truthful and decisive. My brother, known as ‘talk and do’, was a dedicated APC member, but this election is not about the party.
“Sometimes, parties select candidates who are unfit for office. It’s time we vote for individuals based on competence, not party loyalty.
“Ondo State’s seaport is one of the deepest and capable of accommodating large vessels. My brother obtained the port certificate before he passed, but progress has stalled. Now, we’re being promised that it will be handed over to a foreigner. We can’t let that happen. Ondo State needs change, and that’s why we’re endorsing SDP and Akingboye.”
He stated that if elected, Akingboye would dedicate his resources to advancing the state from the start of his term.
“This is a leader who has a vision for the people, not just for himself,” he said.
