A faction within the All Progressives Congress in Ondo State, the Ondo Peoples Assembly , has demanded disciplinary action against two governorship aspirants, Jimoh Ibrahim and Chief Olusola Oke.
The group claimed that the aspirants undermined the democratic process that produced the party’s candidate for the November 16 election.
During a press conference in Akure, the state capital, OPA leaders, Comrade Olufemi Lawson and Isijola Kikelomo, accused the aspirants of disrespecting the office of the Governor of Ondo State.
They condemned the continued attempts to disrupt the democratic process and instigate crisis following the APC governorship primary, according to Nigerian Tribune.
Lawson and Isijola alleged, “The Ondo Peoples Assembly (OPA) vehemently condemns the continued attempts to undermine the democratic process and instigate a crisis following the recently concluded All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial primary.
“It is with deep dismay that we address Senator Jimoh Ibrahim’s and some supporters of Chief Olusola Oke’s sustained attacks on Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s personality, who were among the primary losers.
“The people of Ondo State are deeply displeased by the relentless efforts to discredit Governor Aiyedatiwa and the process, which has been adjudged by the APC and observers as free, fair, and credible.
“It is indisputable that Governor Aiyedatiwa emerged as the winner of the primary through a transparent and democratic process.”
