AS ONDO State approaches its governorship election on November 16, former President Olusegun Obasanjo extended his best wishes to the state’s current governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who is seeking re-election on the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform.
Obasanjo met with Aiyedatiwa in Akure on Monday, where the governor was engaged in intensive campaign preparations.
