Ondo governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, is expected to be the party's most likely choice, as he seeks a second term in office.
His deputy, Agboola Ajayi, earlier this week dumped the party, which he described as a 'poisoned space', for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the APC's main rival.
"At the moment in Ondo State, democracy and wide participation by the people have given way to unsolicited and illegitimate outsourcing of power, familitocracy, nepotism, clannishness and primitive accumulation of illegal wealth under state cover," Ajayi said.
