Kekemeke cautions ‘provoked’ Akeredolu on making inciting statements ahead of guber poll

Ahead of governorship election in Ondo state, an APC governorship aspirant in the state , Isaacs Kekemeke has cautioned governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu against making inciting statements out of provocation in the interest of the party’s unity.

Akeredolu during his third anniversary celebration in government last week was reported to have uttered some inciting statement against leaders of the factional leaders within APC .

While speaking at his 3rd Anniversary Dinner held in Akure, Akeredolu said he was ready to confront and fight members of the APC Unity who have been allegedly frustrating governor’s attempt to get a second term ticket.

The factional group, also known as Unity Forum is headed by a former state deputy governor, Alhaji Alli Olanusi and has some members that includes  Dr Olusegun Abraham; Senate Deputy Leader, Prof Ajayi Boroffice; Chief Olusola Oke, Engr Ifeoluwa Oyedele, Barrister Bukola Adetula.

Reacting to various failed peace meetings between his camp and the Unity forum, Akeredolu insisted that he was no longer interested in such meetings and would be battle ready to fight members of the group.

Speaking on Political podium on Radio Nigeria, Positive FM Akure, anchored by Bukola Bardi and Olumide Abudu, the Pioneer APC chairman in Ondo state condemned such statement, coming from a party leader.

Kekemeke said “I have also seen some video clips flying around and i just want to believe that the governor did not make the statement. We are in a time where you can see all manner of clips.

So I want to believe that the governor did not make the statement and if he did, i want to assume that it was a slip and if it was a slip ,i want to think that the governor should have never allowed himself to be provoked to say those things he said as a governor.

Those who are provoking him should stop doing that, but he too should stop allowing himself to be provoked so that we can have one big party.

That was what i did when i became the chairman of the party ,pulled this party together and that is where I stand . 

I can no longer be called into supporting an anti governor’s group. I also can not be a pro-governor person, his mouthpiece, i can not.

Our party will come together in July after i would have emerged. That same thing that i did before,pulling the party together, and i will pull it together again. ”
