Gov Abiodun Forged Fake INEC Document To Blackmail Us -Labour Party
The crisis between the Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun and the Labour Party in the state took a new dimension as the party accused Abiodun and the All Progressives Congress (APC) of “cooking up a fake letter of disqualification purportedly from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with a view to undermining Labour Party pleadings before the highest court.”
The Labour Party revealed this in a letter by his Chairman in Ogun, Abayomi Arabambi, and made available to newsmen in Abeokuta.
Arabambi accused Gov Abiodun of allegedly manufacturing a letter indicating that the INEC, before the 2019 governorship election, sent a disqualification letter to the LP for its failure to nominate a deputy governorship candidate.
According to Arabambi, no such letter existed before the election, challenging Abiodun to, “produce the purported acknowledged letter from INEC before the Supreme court”; adding that “ the LP will not be blackmailed, hoodwinked or intimidated by any individual, group of persons or institution.”
The statement reads: “It has come to our attention that as a result of service of proceedings from the Supreme court, Gov. Dapo Abiodun and APC have cooked up a fake letter of disqualification purportedly from INEC with the view to undermine our pleadings before the highest court of the land.
“No such “acknowledged letter” existed before the commencement of this case nor during. To suddenly manufacture such is not only laughable but criminal. Forgery is a serious offence under our criminal justice system”.
