Tinubu is said to have endorsed Dr Segun Abraham to represent the party in the November 2016 elections.
The APC Ondo Elders Assembly made the decision after a meeting on Tuesday, August 23, Vanguard reports.
Ondo APC Chairman, Chief Isaac Kekemeke has however denied choosing any aspirant to represent the party.
“I have said repeatedly that I do not prefer any of the aspirants but I have also no power to deny anyone the constitutional right to prefer any aspirant,” Kekemeke said.
“All I know is that I don’t have a preference, I have a vote. In the interest of perception, I did announce to the state working committee over two months ago that I was not going to vote,” he added.
