In preparation for the upcoming bye-election in Akoko North East/North West Federal Constituency, APC leaders rallied support for Hon. Ife Ehindero, with notable attention directed towards Rt. Hon. Mayowa Akinfolarin, signaling his potential as a gubernatorial contender. The rally, held at Ikare Akoko, featured high-profile figures, including Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa and APC Chairman Ade Adetimehin. The vacant House of Representatives seat arose due to Hon.

Party leaders, including Engineer Ade Adetimehin and Chief Olusola Oke, urged voters to support APC and Ife Ehindero. Akinfolarin’s strong reception in the northern part of the state during the bye-election rally hinted at his growing gubernatorial prominence, suggesting he could become a formidable candidate in the upcoming state race.
As focus shifts to the bye-election, the surge in support for Rt. Hon. Mayowa Akinfolarin reflects the evolving political landscape in Ondo State, setting the stage for a dynamic electoral contest in the near future.
