Crisis looms in Ondo PDP as members allege D’ gov of inducing Ad Hoc delegate committee

Some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in early hours of Friday staged a protest at Heritage Hotel, venue of the PDP Ad Hoc  results computation, alleging the Deputy Governor of the state, Agboola Ajayi for attempting to bribe members of the panel to replace names of the delegates across the 203 wards of Ondo state.

The protesters also alleged  some of Ajayi’s campaign members ,Dr. Kola Ademujimi, Engr. J J Ajayi and the House of Assembly member representing Idanre Hon. Festus Akingbaso to have been at the hotel with members of the Election panel while other aspirants were locked out.

The state caretaker Chairman Engr Clement Faboyede and his caretaker committee members were also alleged by the protesters that they had colluded with the embattled Deputy Governor to provide him some leverage in the forthcoming gubernatorial primaries of the party.

ROVING REPORTERS correspondent reports that the crowd were chanting war songs against the Chairman, Clement Faboyede and the  Deputy Governor.

One of the protesters alleged that the Deputy Governor had offered a sum of Eight million naira to the members of the committee to substitute the names of delegates.

In a reaction, the PDP publicity secretary, Zadok Akintoye confirmed the protest but said he could not authenticate the allegations against Agboola.

Akintoye said “ I didn’t see the Deputy governor at the event but i saw three other aspirants and I know the party will react at an appropriate time .

“ I can tell you that I did not at any point in time see Mr Agboola Ajayi at the venue of the collation centre. That is not to say he was not there ,but I didn’t see him.

I only met three of our aspirants ,that’s ,Eyitayo Jegede, Sola Ebiseni and senator Boluwaji Kunlere. Those we’re the three aspirants I met .

I was aware of all this brouhaha but i don’t have any details ,neither can I confirm whether it is true or otherwise. ”
