Ondo 2020: APC Unity Forum Debunks Division
The Unity Forum of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State has dismissed allegations raised by some of its supposed members as tissues of lies.
It said those who termed themselves as foot soldiers of the Unity Forum were playing politics of lies and mudslinging at a odd time.
The Unity Forum is one of the groups within the Ondo APC rooting to stop Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu from getting a second ticket of the party.
Speaking under the auspices of Professionals in Ondo Unity Forum, Engr. Ralph Adetimehin said the so-called ‘Foot Soldiers’ were not members of the group.
Engr. Adetimehin stated that the seven man Adhoc Committee set up by the Unity Forum for the sole mandate of selecting a unified governorship aspirant for the forum has since submitted its sealed report.
Adetimehin said all its members, leaders and governorship aspiratnts did not make verbal or written protest as regards the composition and membership of the committee.
“It is on the basis of the general acceptability of the Adhoc Committee that prompted all the gubernatorial aspirants to attend the screening exercise as scheduled by the committee.
“The Adhoc Committee has since interviewed, interacted, and reviewed the presentations of all the aspirants and has concluded its assignment. In line with the term of reference given to the committee, we are aware it has submitted a sealed report to the Special Purpose Committee for its consideration as soon as the mood of the nation improves.
“We would like to also inform the public that from our findings, those behind this mischief and lies belong to two classes. The first class are those non members of the Forum who by sympathy have prefered aspirant they believe will emerge, they have suddenly developed fear that their preferred governorship aspirants are not likely to emerge”.
