AIYEDATIWA IS UNDER FIRE AS APC LEADERS ACCUSE HIM OF PRODUCING FAKE MEMBERSHIP SLIPS.

Babatunji Wusu –

The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State has expressed grave worry, claiming that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has began generating forged party membership registrations and cards ahead of the primary.
The Ondo APC leaders, through the Ondo Vanguards for Good Governance, have claimed that Governor Aiyedatiwa may be planning to meddle with the party primary on April 20th.

They said that fraudulent APC membership slips were created and distributed to people who were not involved with the party.

Speaking in Akure, the group’s Coordinator, Evangelist Tade Ojo, stated that Aiyedatiwa’s supporters’ desire to rig the primary election or undermine its integrity stemmed from their expectation of failure.

According to Ojo, “We use this opportunity to 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.

“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. We are convinced that they are prepared to spill the milk if they cannot have it.”

Ojo emphasized that the leaders chose to expose what he characterized as disruptive behaviours because it would be unwise to presume that the fake documents being manufactured could be successfully presented to the national committee responsible for overseeing the primary election.

However, according to the spokesperson for the Lucky Aiyedatiwa Campaign Organization Foot Soldiers (LACO-FS), Kayode Fasua, the allegations were baseless and originated from anonymous individuals financed by “jittery aspirants.”

Fasua said, “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.”
