The Oodua Nationalist Coalition, ONAC, yesterday threw its support for the Alliance for Democracy, AD standard bearer, Mr Olusola Oke, describing him as the only candidate that is capable of uplifting the state to higher economic and cultural heights.

A statement issued by ONAC Ondo State Chapter Chairman, Mr Oluwole Ogundare, also urged President Mohammed Buhari to ensure that  the will of the people prevails. ONAC said Ondo people are worried but well prepared for the speculation that the election will be rigged using soldiers and riot police men in favour of the APC candidate, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu.

ONAC is a coalition of 35 pan Yoruba groups spread across the South West states.

The group said the rallies of the three major candidates are enough to convince anyone that Oke is the undisputable choice of the people of the state, warning that any attempt to muzzle the desire of the people will be disastrous for the future of the country.
