The Leadership of the All Progressive congress (APC) in Ondo state has appealed to all aggrieve members of the party especially those “on sabbatical” to return to the party.
In a statement signed by its Director of media and publicity Steve Otaloro, made available to Daily Trust on Wednesday, stated that it is obvious some of the members are eager to return but warned that they should not expect to come and hijack the party.
The party noted that Dr. Olusegun Abraham, the first runner-up in the last governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress in Ondo State, scored the party low in terms of popularity in the state and that its popularity has nosedived.
The party said” even those with hearing defects could hear about the ongoing development in our party as members of various political parties are defecting to our party in their droves on weekly basis.”
Abraham must have forgotten the history; candidates in our party rode on the credibility of President Muhammadu Buhari which saw them to victory during the elections.
“Ascribing the victory of the party at the polls to Hon. Isaac Kekemeke and Abraham himself was as good as standing history on its head,” the statement added.
Kekemeke, the then chairman of the party was not popular to the point of winning people's support for the party.
To further buttress the fact that Abraham is at a loss, he claimed that 97.56 percent of APC members in the state belong to Kekemeke and himself.
This is laughable and requires educating Abraham on this figment of his imagination.
It would be foolhardy to think Abraham, who is still in court challenging the results of the primary, would say or see anything good about the party and the current acting chairman of the party, Ade Adetimehin.
Meanwhile, Abraham who came second in the last governorship primary election is still laying claim to the governorship seat saying governor Akeredolu only came in through the back door.
Recently, a group of elders from the party drawn from the eighteen local government areas met in Akure, the state capital with some Senators, members of the House of representatives and several others came out to declare support and confidence for Hon Kekemeke
