The Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress in Ondo State said it has uncovered plans by the People’s Democratic Party to instigate crisis in Akure, the State capital, on Monday.
The motive according to APC is to create a semblance of political instability in the peaceful State, in addition to portraying the ruling party in bad light, ahead of governorship election, coming up next year.
In a statement signed by APC publicity secretary, Alex Kalejaye, the party said, “It has come to our knowledge that some PDP chieftains, who have started making huge contributions, in collaboration with some players within our fold, have finalised plans to destabilise the Sunshine State,” the party alleged.
APC condemned in strong terms the alleged thoughts and plans by the PDP to instigate political upheaval and create disaffection among the people in a State which it said has been peaceful, organised, and enjoyed enviable political stability, and industrial harmony.
It wondered why PDP, said to have been engulfed by leadership turbulence in Abuja, will prefer to go into unholy alliance with some elements in APC to foment avoidable crisis in Ondo State.
Ondo APC argued that the Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, has been discharging his official duties and responsibilities without any hitch, irrespective of his location.
The party also expressed appreciation for the understanding and prayers of the good people of the State for the admirable governor.
“We are very optimistic that our Governor; your performing Governor, will be in our midst in a matter of days,” the party assured.
It is imperative to state that any political gathering or activity at this time could easily be hijacked beyond the control and capacity of the organizers.
We therefore call on security agencies to be vigilant and ensure that every gathering is well guided, and closely monitored for compliance.
The party is confident that the APC-led government in Ondo State will continue to invest in projects that have direct bearings on the welfare of the public. We will also not relax our commitment to
the State workforce.
