Labour Party chieftain, Olusola Ebiseni, stated on Thursday that the November 16 governorship election in Ondo State is essentially a contest between his party and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ebiseni made this assertion during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, just two days before the off-cycle election in the Sunshine State.
He also dismissed the chances of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the election, pointing out that the PDP candidate, Agboola Ajayi, had previously served as Ondo State’s deputy governor.

“This election is going to be about two political parties and their administration,” he said.
“There is no PDP in this election. This election is between the Labour Party and the APC. Agboola Ajayi of the PDP was Akeredolu’s first-time deputy governor. Aiyedatiwas of the APC was Akeredolu’s second-term deputy governor now the incumbent governor.
“If you want to assess their credibility and performance, you will assess them, you will assess the Akeredolu government and the roles they played.”
When asked if he has the backing of former Ondo Governor Olusegun Mimiko for his governorship bid, Ebiseni did not provide a direct answer.
Instead, he emphasized his strong, two-decade-long relationship with Mimiko, referring to the former governor as his friend.
“It is not an issue for me to debate, Olusegun Mimiko is not against me. I don’t have Mimiko working against me,” he stated.
Discussing his chances in the race, Ebiseni stated that his experience as a former local government chairman and commissioner under the Mimiko administration has thoroughly prepared him for the role.
