Ahead of next Saturday’s governorship primary election of the All Progressive Congress in Ondo state, some party leaders under the auspices of Ondo Vanguards for Good Governance, have raised the alarm over alleged production of fake membership register and cards.

Their coordinator, Evangelist Tade Ojo, in a statement issued in Akure, the state capital, pointed accusing fingers at governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

Ojo said in the statement that ” As loyal party members, we have duties to our state and party to ensure credible, free, and fair primary that will deliver popular and accountable leadership is achieved.

” Like the unending blood stain on the nails of someone with lice infested head, the governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa and his vicious strategists have continued to thread the calamitous path meant to either rig the forthcoming primary election of the APC, or discredit it, as they are faced with imminent defeat.

“Recall that reports of the annihilating steps being taken by Aiyedatiwa’s supporters to recruit thugs to unleash uncommon violence in areas where Aiyedatiwa is believed will lose the coming primary have been made public.

” It is important to stress that the leadership of appropriate security agencies has been alerted on this devious act of the governor that has feigned and simulated popularity through procured fickle endorsements.

“The second in line of the escapades of the governor and his desperate partners, particularly some senior appointees to the State government, is the generation of fake membership register and printing of fake membership slips to people who are no members of APC.

“Whereas it is foolhardy to believe that the new fake documents being produced by these anarchists could be impressed successfully on the national committee saddled with the responsibility of conducting the primary election, it is needful that we expose this disruptive acts, so that the satanic intentions of Aiyedatiwa’s evil geniuses to either confuse APC members or cast doubt on the conduct of the primary election are nipped in the bud.

“We use this opportunity to, once again, call on the national leadership of the APC and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, not to allow Aiyedatiwa and his collaborating Desperados disrupt the APC primary Ondo state.

Ojo said that “We also call on the leaders of our great party to prevail on the governor and the gang of his red beret not to hurt the chances of the APC in the forthcoming primary election of the party, and the general election in November, as well as the desire of the good people of Ondo State for a new lease of life, through purposeful leadership and good governance.

“Ondo State is larger than all of us, including governor Ayedatiwa. and his co-travellers.

“Members of the APC should endeavour to mitigate the desperation of Aiyedatiwa and co, as we are convinced that they are prepared to spill the milk, if they cannot have it. Enough is enough!.

Reacting, the Director of information, Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s campaign Organisation, Kayode Fasua, said that ” While it is clear that these allegations are coming from faceless people, we can’t for the sake of ignoring them allow the innocent people to be hoodwinked.

The primary election is an internal affair of the APC and the party leadership is independent of government.

“Before the party, all aspirants, including the governor, are equal in treatment; regarding campaigns and the internal electoral process.

“Therefore, Governor Aiyedatiwa or his supporters are far removed from this lie of printing fake membership cards, as alleged by jittery aspirants hiding behind fingers.

“Again, the allegation of the governor unleashing terror or destroying billboards is trite and unappealing to the public, because the Police have never for once heard of such complaint, much less arrest anyone.

“They should go drink some water and sleep for their enviously frayed nerves. Hardworking Governor Aiyedatiwa has overtaken them.
