Alleged Crisis: Ondo APC Has No Issue With Gov Ayedatiwa

The Ondo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has described the allegation of neglect of the party by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, by some members of House of Representatives from the state, as unfounded and embarrassing to the chapter.

A statement issued by the states publicity of the party, Alex Kalejaye, in Akure, said that members of the State Working Committee of the party, a few days ago, paid an unscheduled visit to the Governor, who put aside other engagements and accorded due respect to the SWC.

Kalejaye said that, “The Governor, who is also the leader of the chapter, had extensive discussions on how to further build the party and promote unity within the fold, with a view to securing victory for APC in Ondo State, come November.

“The Governor never talked about personal ambition, but rather expressed desire to ensure befitting burial for the departed leader, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.

“It is gratifying to note that all the concerns raised by the party, through the State Chairman, Engr. Adetimehin, were duly considered by the Governor, who assured that he would address them betimes.

“The party appreciates the two gentlemen, Honourables Abiola Makinde and Donald Ojogo, for taking time to discredit the spurious allegations put forward by their colleagues.

“For the records, there is no rancor nor bad blood between the Governor and the party structures in the state. The development of the chapter is the crux of all decisions and activities in the State.

“We expect party leaders, including the federal lawmakers, to key into the focus and support laudable ideas that befit nobility. For now, Ondo State does not deserve discordant tunes, that betray malice and self-servicing.
