The Ondo APC Mandate Group on Tuesday, February 19, accused Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state of engaging in anti-party activities.

The group alleged that the governor is working with opposition elements in the state against the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari in the forthcoming general elections.

The allegation was made when the group staged a protest at the APC national secretariat in Abuja.

Addressing journalists during the protest, the publicity secretary of the group, Comrade Olugbenga Bojuwomi, also accused the governor of mobilizing fake policemen and soldiers to cause mayhem against Buhari’s victory in the state.

Bojuwomi said: “As the spate of insubordination and ego increase unabated on the part of the Ondo state governor - Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, his evil plan against the wish of good people of Ondo state and the upcoming victory of our dear President Buhari are in-tadem with that of a desperate and devilish undertaker.

“Apart from the fact that series of these aborted plans have been revealed by this group - Ondo APC Mandate Group and other sister groups in the state before now which has yielded no fruits in the ears of presidency and APC national headquarters, but, as lovers of Buhari and APC, the group will continue to expose evil plans by Akeredolu that can as well lead to loss of lives and properties on the election day.

“There have been several threat and warning from Governor Akeredolu against house-to-house campaign for Mr. President in Ondo, he is only promoting AA and PDP presidential candidate, that is why up till now there is no campaign for President Buhari in Ondo state by party members.

“Logistics that was released to Mr. Governor from Abuja were not given to APC stalwarts. In-fact, the only condition for the money to be released to local governments was that you must work for AA or PDP presidential candidate.

“Governor Akeredolu’s message to all Oba’s and party faithful in Ondo state was that, they should vote AA for all National Assemblies and PDP candidate for president during the election.”

The group called on the Nigeria Police Force, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the Department of State Security and the Independent National Electoral Commission to call their personnel in Ondo state to order, warning any attempt to use them to cause unrest would be resisted.

“We call on the national chairman of APC to investigate the activities of the Ondo state governor Olurotimi Akeredolu and the party state executive with a view of unveiling their nocturnal activities on behalf of Action Alliance in Ondo state.

“Under normal circumstances, we expected the national chairman Adams Oshiomole not to extend invitation of caucus meeting held yesterday to Governor Akeredolu since it is established from all indications that the Ondo state governor is Atiku Abubakar campaign DG in disguise,” the group stated.
