Ondo APC Secretariat Locked Up Over Alleged Imposition of Candidate by Tinubu

The sealed party secretariat

 

The All Progressives Congress in Ondo State on Tuesday erupted in a crisis with some members claiming they have impeached the chairman, Isaacs Kekemeke, for his involvement in the endorsement of an aspirant ahead of the governorship primaries slated for August 27.

 

Before the impeachment, the party secretariat at Oyemekun road in Akure, the capital of Ondo was locked up by a group of people and tagged with banners showing their grievances against the imposition of a candidate by party authorities towards the gubernatorial primaries.

 

The group forcefully took over the state secretariat along Oyemekun Road, shutting the gates against Mr. Kekemeke and his allies.

They also announced the appointment of one Saka Ogunleye as their new chairman.

 

At the time journalists visited the secretariat, the members were waiving placards, protesting the rumoured endorsement of one of the aspirants, Olusegun Abraham, by the national leader of the party, Bola Tinubu.

One of the leading gubernatorial aspirants in the state, Odunayo Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN who earlier played down imposition rumours is yet to comment on the issue.
