PRESS STATEMENT

Re: ALLEGATIONS OF ATTACK AT ODUPETU, AKURE

The Eyitayo/Gboluga Campaign Organisation (EJCO) have been informed of allegations of attacks against APC supporters earlier today. Had these not been accredited to the Governor of Ondo State, Arakurin Akeredolu we would not have afforded the courtesy of a response, but he remains governor at least until the decision of the people in October 2020.

Earlier today Akeredolu released a statement signed by
Olabode Richard Ola Tunde, Spokesman of the Akeredolu/Ayetidawa Campaign Organisation alleging attacks by PDP thugs on innocent APC supporters.

We use this medium to draw the attention of our Governor Akeredolu to the mailbox of Hon Isaac Kekemeke the self-acclaimed militant and architect of strife and malicious physical attacks in this state, by his own admissions.

Should Mr Governor fail to find answers from that source, we direct him to the mailbox of Ade Adetimehin, Chairman APC Ondo State, who is likely to have answers to the attacks in Idanre LGA and Ondo West LGA last week, in the run up to the Local Government Elections. These APC stalwarts may be able to assist in his further investigations.

We state in the most emphatic terms that Arakurin Akeredolu has wrongly directed his post at the peace-loving members and supporters of Eyitayo Jegede, Hon Gboluga Ikengboju and the PDP, but we take slight comfort in the fact that we may get some form of protection from security agents since they have now been put on notice by this cry of “Wolf” by Mr Governor.

Whilst we continue to encourage all PDP supporters to remain calm in the face of repeated provocation, we enjoined them to remain vigilant and stay safe.
