Governor Akeredolu responsible for President Buhari’s loss in Ondo State – APC Mandate group alleges


Oredola Adeola |

The Mandate Group of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo state has charged the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party to suspend the state leadership of the party and the state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, for their anti-party activities which led to the loss of the party in the February 23, Presidential and National Assembly elections.

The group made this known during a press conference held at the APC national secretariat.

Governor Akeredolu and President Buhari

According to the group’s Publicity Secretary, Comrade Olugbenga Bojuwomi, “ we have evidence that Governor Akeredolu did not vote for President Muhammadu Buhari and all APC candidates in the Feb. 23 Presidential and National Assembly elections.

The Mandate Group further alleged that  Governor Akeredolu was working against the interest of the party by supporting  the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar in the elections.

The group also accused Gov Akeredolu of creating faction called Aketi group, using Ondo NURTW to actualise it, an action ehichnit said has further disintegrated the party into different segments in the state.

“Even the logistics given to Governor Akeredolu from Abuja was used against all the APC Candidates, including President Buhari in Ondo-State.”

He said it was unfortunate that the APC national leadership failed to listen to the group’s earlier alarm on the anti-party activities of some of the party’s stakeholders in the state.

"We have raised several allegations against Mr. Governor; the pockets of violence that were recorded in his home-town (Owo) on the election day against APC loyalists confirmed our allegations.

“While voting, Governor Akeredolu was sighted voting for PDP Presidential Candidate and his Action Alliance (AA) National Assembly Candidates, that is why AA won in his unit and local government respectively.

" It is evidently clear that the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu and Ondo APC Chairman Ade Adetimehin have no regard for the APC leadership and the Presidency.

The duo has fought President Buhari to a standstill in Ondo state, we hereby call for the immediate dissolution of Ondo APC Executive,” he said.

According to him, the APC Ondo state executive has become Governor Akeredolu’s stooge since his inauguration, adding that appropriate sanctions should be meted on the state Governor and the party’s state chairman if the APC would still have the grasp of Ondo state which he said was presently a PDP State.

He, however, noted that it was clear that a few APC stalwart were loyal to the APC and President Buhari in Ondo State, going by the trend of the election result.

He added that it was obvious that Sen. Ajayi Boroffice was a strongman of Ondo politics, despite the huddles, rigors and threat from political stakeholders toward his re-election bid.
