He also called for unity within the party, echoing the sentiments of President Bola Tinubu, who has consistently advocated for solidarity among party members.
With the primary election concluded, Governor Aiyedatiwa and the APC are now focusing on consolidating support and preparing for the November gubernatorial election, where they will face off against other candidates in a bid to secure the governorship of Ondo State.
