No fewer than ten political parties in the state have agreed to work for a consensus candidate during the governorship election in Ondo State come October 10.
It said: “The CIRPP Will, however, make its position known as to who to support and work for within 72 hours.
“The CIRPP, hereby, informs the general public that the committee has not adopted any candidate for the slated election as insinuated by the public and envisaged by a group of persons who aren’t members of registered political parties.
“There are earlier insinuations that the CIRPP is working and supporting a particular party, but there is nothing of such.”

“It’s our joy that a compassionate person wins in the forthcoming election.”
