Group Accuses Aiyedatiwa Of Printing Fake Party Cards Ahead Of Primary

• Jittery Aspirants Behind False Allegations, Says LACO • Why I Wrote An Advisory To APC Against Gov – Edema

ONDO Vanguards for Good Governance has accused Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, of printing fake membership cards and slips ahead of the party’ s primary on April 20.

According to the group , the purported move was geared towards manipulating the outcome of the party’s primary in fa vour of the governor.

The Chairman of the group, Evangelist Tade Ojo, who spoke in Akure, claimed that some non- members of the APC had been recruited to vote during the primary in a bid to allegedly rig the shadow election.

The group, however, appealed to President Bola Tinubu and the national leadership of the party to ensure credibility during the primary by thwarting any activities aimed at jeopardising the integrity of the election.

He said: “It is important to stress that the leadership of appropriate security agencies has been alerted to this devious act of the governor that has feigned and simulated popularity through procured fickle endorsements.

“The second in line of the escapades of the governor and his desperate partners, particularly some senior appointees to the state government, is the generation of fake membership registers and the printing of fake membership slips to people who are not members of the APC.”

Reacting to the allegations, the spokesperson for the Lucky Aiyedatiwa Campaign Organisation Foot Soldiers ( LACO- FS), Kayode Fasua, dismissed the claims as baseless. He said: “The primary election is an internal affair of the APC, and the party leadership is independent of the government. Before the party, all aspirants, including the governor, are treated equally regarding campaigns and the internal electoral process.
