Akeredolu to APC: pick 'sellable' candidate

The governorship candidate of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in the 2012 election in Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, has urged the party to pick a "sellable" candidate.

He said the party's choice would either make or mar its chances in the 2016 election.

Akeredolu spoke with reporters in Owo Local Government Area while celebrating the Yuletide with APC members.

He said the party is well positioned to win elections in the state.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain said: "I have no doubt that APC will win the election.

"We are going to win. The important thing really is what I have said to members that our choice for governor must be well thought out.

"We must pick a round peg to fit a round hole. The moment we are able to do that, we are home and dry.

"Pick a sellable candidate. Pick a candidate who is recognised, a candidate who is a household name in Ondo State, then I can assure you, we are good to win
