Abraham’s exit from the race for the APC ticket comes hours after another aspirant, Ife Oyedele, stepped down for Akeredolu, who is seeking a second term in office.

Thank you @EngrIfeOyedele for taking this bold step to support me as I seek a second term in office. You are one of our best exports from Ondo state and we are proud of your achievements. Our collective effort can only result in a greater Sunshine State. Welcome to the team. pic.twitter.com/bMf1olrpMO
