Youths: don’t sell party’s ticket
The deputy governor accused Akeredolu of running the state aground. The governor said he would not allow Ajayi to distract him from his preparation for today’s primary. Speaking through his Chief Press Secretary, Babatope Okeowo, Ajayi said he understood the self-inflicted pain of running the state aground through inflated contracts, clannishness, nepotism and malfeasance.
But the Ondo State Government said it would not take up issues with Ajayi, adding that its focus was on how Akeredolu would win today’s APC primary. “You are destroying your tomorrow by becoming a thug. So, better stay off it or the police will deal with you decisively. “To all participants in the electoral process, I will advise that those coming with their security aides and escort should know that nobody will be allowed to come into the voting centre with any security aide throughout the duration of the elections,” he said.
The PDP youths, who spoke under the auspices of Grassroot Movement, accused some of the aspirants, including the deputy governor of desperation. “We are calling on our delegates not to give room for money bag politicians to decide the fate of the party.”In a twist on Sunday night, one of the aspirants, Ife Oyedele, who had earlier denied stepping down, announced his withdrawal from the race for Akeredolu.
He said: “They want us to continue to work together for the progress of the party in Ondo State. Even before the last few days, a number of our leaders have been talking to the leading aspirants. One of the most important things to them is to ensure a fair and just primary. They are also very mindful of the security situation in the state. They don’t want an ordinary primary to lead to bloodshed.
The cleric said the contestants should know that only one person would emerge from the contests, saying that all of them could not be winners.Yayi-Akorede said: “The whole nation is watching us in Ondo State. Let’s do it in a peaceful manner.
