PDP Lied Over ‘Purported’ APC Members Defection In Ondo – APC

The Ondo state Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on
Wednesday faulted the claim by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) that
it received about 10,000 of its members in Okitipupa Local Government
Area of Ondo State.

It described the notion as porous and cheap
propaganda, stressing that the claim had helped to amplify what has
already been known that the party has no regards for figures, besides
it’s inelastic capacity for distortion of glaring facts.

A
statement by the party’s spokesman, Alex Kalejaye said “The APC in Ondo
State wishes to place on records that a fraction of those who followed
Chief Olusola Oke to the party early this year actually returned to
where they always belong. They were less than 50 in number.

“The
ruling party deeply appreciates the courage and will of the bulk of the
group for believing in the APC, and resisting the indescribable efforts
aimed at inducing them financially.

“What happened in Okitipupa
was a political jamboree by the Ondo State PDP, designed to justify the
huge financial investment of its national leaders, who stormed Akure,
the Ondo State capital last Thursday, and led by Governor Aminu Tambuwal
of Sokoto State.

“It was therefore necessary for the State
chapter to rent some idle youths that have no electoral values to
present a seemingly huge crowd for further patronage.

The statement stressed that Ondo APC was unperturbed about the hollow and rootless antics that will expire in February.

It said “We remain committed to our determination to deliver the State for our party during the general elections.

The
party will continue to work for the good people of Ondo State and and
showcase what we have been able to do, even at the national level,
rather than orchestrated propaganda.

“This government has no
place for deception and empty promises that will not improve the living
conditions and welfare of the people.

The statement assured the
citizenry that the present Akeredolu’s government would implement all
the projects intended, and flagged off, while payment of workers’
salaries and wages would be sustained.
