The new government of Ondo state Rotimi Akeredolu has raised peoples’ eyebrow by accusing a certain serving senator in the Ondo state of working against his emergence as a governor of the state and vow to deal with such disloyalty. Although, Akeredolu failed to mention names connected to the allegation.
This allegation was made by the governor at the dinner organised for him in the state capital, Akure, after his swearing in on Friday, February 24, 2017
According to The Punch, The governor with his deputy Agboola Ajayi on Friday, purported that some of the State’s All Progressives Congress (APC) Chieftains worked for a rival party during the last governorship election.
Akeredolu is now demanding that the affected senator should reapply to the party afresh through his ward if he still wished to be an active member of the APC in the state.
He stated: “A senator that won his seat on the platform of the APC chose to openly work for the Alliance for Democracy during the last governorship election. He later paid for a congratulatory advert for me in the newspaper; it looks strange to me. This is someone that didn’t even call to congratulate me.
“Tell the senator he is not a member of the APC. Everyone involved in anti-party activities can’t come back through the back door, they would have to go back to their various wards to reapply for APC membership cards and apologise openly. They should also do the needful.”
