Rotimi Akeredolu
As the November 26 governorship election in Ondo State gradually
draws nearer, the skirmishes within the ranks of the All Progressives
Congress following a controversial primary election on the 3rd of
September which produced Rotimi Akeredolu as the party's governorship
flag bearer has degenerated into a 'street fight'.
A vicious clash recently broke out between the supporters of
Akeredolu and Segun Abrahim, the 2nd runner-up in the APC Ondo primary
election which the latter has challenged in futility.
According to a tweet by Sahara Reporters, the police has intervened
in the fracas and the APC office in Ondo has been secured to forestall
further damage by the aggrieved groups.
Investigations by Tori News reveals a 'Reconciliatory Committee' is
set to be inaugurated by the APC leaders at the national level to
appeal to the warring groups over the emergence of Akeredolu so as to
ensure a successful prosecution of the forthcoming election in the
state.
The major aim of the committee is to secure the support of the
party's 'big fish' Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu whose anointed candidate,
Segun Abraham failed to scale through the primaries.
Meanwhile, Akeredolu has continued to soar high in popularity due
to his refined grassroot campaign strategy as against the People's
Democratic Party governorship candidate, Eyitayo Jegede alleged to be
taking refuge behind his principal, Governor Olusegun Mimiko.
