Mr Akinterinwa, who is a former Finance Commissioner under the Late Rotimi Akeredolu, is also pointing fingers at the state Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, as being behind the attacks. Mr Ajiboye said the thugs unleashed terror on hapless citizens in Ore, Odigbo Local Government Area of the state.He urged leaders of the APC in the state and at the national level to call Governor Aiyedatiwa to order before he destroys the party.
But the Lucky Aiyedatiwa Campaign Organisation swiftly responded to the allegations, saying the claims were “clueless attempts” to disparage the governor. “They are as unserious as their allegation. Any thug spotted destroying their billboard should be reported to the police, rather than distract a hardworking governor,” the statement added.
