EXCLUSIVE: Ondo Election: Buhari Reveals Why Akeredolu Should be Reelected

20/07/2020

INTRIGUES, LAST MINUTE ALIGNMENT AS 11 ASPIRANTS CONTEST ONDO APC GOVERNORSHIP TICKET TODAY

* Aspirants, factions disagree over indirect primary
* Focus on party’s victory – S’West APC

The All Progressives Congress candidate for the October 10 governorship election in Ondo State will emerge today (Monday) at a primary election that will be contested by the state Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, and 10 other aspirants.

Ahead of the election, there were intrigues on Sunday as some aspirants engaged in last-minute talks aimed at forming an alliance against Akeredolu.

Besides Akeredolu, other aspirants are Chief Olusola Oke, Dr Segun Abraham, Mr Olaide Adelami, Bukola Adetula, Mrs Jumoke Anifowose, Ambassador Sola Iji, Mr Isaac Kekemeke, Jimi Odimayo, Mr Nathaniel Adojutelegan and Mr Awodeyi Akinsehinwa.

The party had last month disclosed that it would adopt indirect primary to pick its governorship candidate, but 11 aspirants in a memo they jointly signed kicked against it.

The Chairman of the Primary Committee and Kogi State Governor, Mr Yahaya Bello, on Friday turned down the request of the aspirants, saying they could not dictate to the party.
.......Aspirants in last-minute alliance talks against Akeredolu

It was gathered that there might be last-minute alliance among the aspirants as several meetings were going on among the party leaders and the aspirants to reduce the number of aspirants so that most popular aspirant would get the ticket of the party.

The spokesperson for one of the aspirants, Adelami; Mr Rahaman Yusuf, confirmed that his boss had met with many party leaders.

On Sunday, it was learnt that many of the aspirants, who were active at the initial stage of the preparation for the primary, were said to have lost confidence in getting the desired victory at the primary following the alleged imposition of the indirect primary.

An aide to one of the aspirants, on condition of anonymity, informed one of our correspondents that his boss knew he had lost the primary already, alleging that the national secretariat of the party had concluded plans to give Akeredolu the ticket of the party.
.......Akerodolu to benefit from indirect primary

Also, there were indications on Sunday that Akeredolu would benefit from the indirect primary.

A top-ranking member of the party who, spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “Most incumbent governors prefer the indirect mode because those who emerge as delegates are their loyalists.

“There are those we call automatic delegates and these include party members from the state who are former governors, former deputy governors, former speakers and deputy speakers, serving national and state Assembly members.”
.......Oke vows to challenge indirect primary

One of governorship aspirants, Chief Olusola Oke, who expressed his displeasure over the adoption of indirect primary, however, said he would participate in the primary but would challenge the process.
........Aspirants yet to see delegates’ list, says factional chairman

But the APC factional chairman, Mr Henry Olatuja, said the indirect primary adopted by the party was against its constitution.

According to him, the insistence of the APC’s National Caretaker Committee of the party on conducting indirect primary in the state has further caused more crises in the party.

Olatuja said, “We heard the Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bell, say the primary in Ondo State will be indirect, meaning it is a delegate election. As I am talking to you now, we are yet to have the list of delegates to use on Monday, even the contestants don’t have it.

However, the state Chairman of the party, Mr Ade Adetimehin, said there was no faction in the party and there was no case in the court .
........S’West APC urges aspirants to focus on party’s victory in October

The South-West caucus of the APC on its part appealed to the 12 governorship aspirants to display maturity and harp more on issues that could unite the party, rather than those capable of causing unwarranted division.

The APC South-West Publicity Secretary, Karounwi Oladapo, in a release titled, “Press statement,” urged the aspirants to look beyond the primaries to how the party would win the governorship election proper holding in October.
.......Oyedele steps down for Akeredolu

Few hours to the primary, an aspirant, Ife Oyedele on Sunday stepped down from the governorship race.

Speaking with journalists at the Government House, Akure, Oyedele, who is the Executive Director of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company of Nigeria , said he took the decision after the consultation with the national leaders of the party to work with Akeredolu in the forthcoming election.

Meanwhile, less than 24 hours to the primary of party, the venue for the primary has been changed.

Initially, the primary was scheduled to hold in the 18 local government headquarters of the party in the state but it was gathered that the exercise would hold in three centers in Akure.

The party spokesman, Alex Kalejaiye, confirmed the development.

MORE PEOPLE WILL SOON LEAVE AKEREDOLU'S GOVERNMENT - ABEGUNDE, EX-ONDO SSG

The immediate past Secretary to the Ondo State Government and chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress in the state, Mr Sunday Abegunde, speaks to PETER DADA on why he resigned from the Governor Rotimi Akeredolu-led government recently, the forthcoming governorship primary of the APC, among other issues

** You just resigned your appointment as the SSG of Ondo State, there have been insinuations that you are defecting to the PDP. How true is that?

-- It is not true; I remain loyal to our party – the All Progressives Congress. I want to correct one thing: many people have been speculating that I am defecting to the PDP. I have never said so in the previous interviews I granted journalists. I am not defecting. I remain loyal to my party. Although I have resigned from Akeredolu’s government, it does not translate to defecting to the PDP.

** Since you are not leaving the APC, what is your next line of action?

-- As I have said, I remain a loyal member of the APC. At this time, in moving forward in my political career, I have made up my mind after consulting with my followers that we are going to pitch our tent with one of the aspirants who I believe will lift our state from where it is. I and my supporters across the state will begin to campaign for him. I pray that God will make him the next governor of Ondo State.

** Why do you prefer that aspirant?

-- He will not personalise the government like Akeredolu. Akeredolu has personalised the government and he thought it is a government for his own family alone. After all, it was not only him that won the election that brought him to power; all of us won the election for him. It was the steady and concerted efforts of loyal party stalwarts among whom I was prominent, that won the election for him in 2016. The aspirant is contesting for the third time. He is a technocrat, a businessman-cum-politician.

When he contested in 2012, the leaders prevailed on him to allow Akeredolu run for the election, and he agreed. That was when Asiwaju Bola Tinubu asked me to work with Akeredolu and I have been with Akeredolu since then. The aspirant contested again the second time in 2016 but I was consistently a friend of Akeredolu and his loyalist. I got to know through insinuations on social media that Asiwaju was supporting the aspirant; and I said (to myself) that if Asiwaju was supporting the aspirant, he should have called me to support him. Owing to my political inexperience then, I didn’t ask Asiwaju ( for direction) when I did not hear from him. That was the mistake I made.

** You think it is still a mistake?

-- But I can’t call it a mistake because if God wants to make somebody a governor, He will push people to him so that His (Lord’s) wish can manifest. At that time, people wanted me to leave Akeredolu but I said no. I told them I had not heard from our leader. I did not follow what I heard but I supported Akeredolu. What I am trying to say is that the aspirant lost the election with only 34 votes but did not defect from the APC. He has been a progressive, a knowledgeable person and what he did after he lost that election was that he went to a seminary school to learn about God.

** You had a cordial relationship with the governor at the beginning of this administration, why did you suddenly fall apart with him?

-- It was our party’s national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, that introduced Akeredolu to me in 2012 as the candidate of our party, the then Action Congress of Nigeria. Since then, I have been working with him diligently. At the beginning of this administration, he appointed me as the SSG. But I later discovered that the welfare of the people of the state was deteriorating and he didn’t do anything about it.

This is of a serious concern to me. It is public knowledge that my office was ripped off a lot of responsibilities for reasons well known to the governor. Despite this, I would have stayed on if the governor had united our party and paid attention to the welfare of the people. I have tried to use my office and my personal relationship to appeal to Mr Governor to allow a human face in his administration but all to no avail.

How will I continue to serve under an administration where the great family of progressives have been short-changed? I can feel the suffering of the people. Unfortunately, it is disheartening that I have been incapacitated by Mr Governor as I could not do anything to salvage the situation. Akeredolu is a friend that I have but I have lost him. I lost him because power took him over and he could not manage power.

** Should the governorship primary of your party favour the governor, what will be your next decision? Will you work for him?

-- As a loyal party man if he wins the primary election, I will work for the party, not for him.

** You alleged that Akeredolu has personalised the government. You have been in his government for over three years, why did it take you this long to resign from the government?

-- You know that when you are in politics, you are not there alone. You know my antecedents, the people of my federal constituency (Akure North and the Akure South) voted for me twice as a member of the House of Representatives. So, what I am saying is that I do not take decisions alone. Because I have supporters across the state and I carry them along on my day-to-day political actions and decisions, I couldn’t have done it without them. It took us so long to decide and I believe it is the (best) time for me to quit his government.

** Did you at one point or the other sit him down to counsel him that what he was doing was not good?

-- I tried my best. There was a time I went to talk to the Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, about the matter and I also went to talk to him (Akeredolu) too, in Owo. He didn’t listen. Since he did not change, I decided I would not continue to be his political ally again. Like I said, this decision at this time is the decision of my people, and not only mine.

** When you went to talk to him, what was his response? Did he say the welfare of the people and that of the party members did not matter?

-- I will not want to disclose what we discussed at the meeting.

** Did the national leadership of your party intervene in this matter?

-- You know the way politics works. The governor is ascribed as the party leader in the state. So, they would have expected him to manage the state very well; but you know that his (Akeredolu) management skill is very low. He has lost his deputy governor and he is now losing his SSG. He will still lose many people. Many people are still coming out of his government because he can’t manage the crisis. In a few days from now, you will see what will happen.

ONDO 2020: AGBOOLA AJAYI DUMPS APC,
JOINS PDP

Ondo State Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi, on Sunday resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress in Apoi Ward 2, Ese Odo Local Government Area of the State.

This came some hours after he was restrained from going out of the Government House in Alagbaka, Akure, the state capital, by the state Police Commissioner, Bolaji Salami and his team.

Tendering his resignation letter at the APC secretariat in Apoi Ward 2, Ese Odo LGA, Ajayi said everybody knew why he left the APC.

Shortly after, he went to the secretariat of the PDP in the ward where he announced his defection to the party and obtained his party card.

ONDO STATE DEPUTY GOVERNOR, AGBOOLA AJAYI DETAINED BY THE STATE POLICE COMMISSIONER, BOLAJI SALAMI

Ondo State Deputy Governor, Agboola Ajayi Detained By State Commissioner of Police, Over Plans To Defect To PDP

Ondo state deputy governor, Mr Agboola Ajayi, was detained on Saturday night for several hours by the state commissioner of police, Bolaji Salami.

In the video obtained by Naija News, the commissioner was heard saying “ your are already defecting, even your letter was brought to me this evening , you are defecting on Monday”. The deputy governor interjected and asked how his (Salami) decision to defect was a concern of the Police commissioner. He said: “Are you not a police officer, a senior officer, if I decide to leave a party for another, what’s your concern, are you the APC chairman, are you the PDP chairman.”

Naija News understands that the deputy governor had been nursing the idea of dumping his principal Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu in the order to contest against him in the forthcoming gubernatorial race in the state for over a year and this has caused great rift between him and Akeredolu.

In August 2019 he released a statement through his spokesman, Babatope Okeowo denying plans to dump the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“This is a blatant falsehood as Agboola Ajayi remains a bonafide member of the APC and has no plan to dump the party for any rival political party.” the statement said.

In a bid to ensure that his political ambition was kept in secrecy, Ajayi again dismissed reports of a rift between him and his boss while speaking at his (Ajayi’s) 51st birthday celebration at the Ondo State Government House, Akure.

According to the Deputy Governor, he has the best working relationship with his boss.

Despite all the denials, it is now clear that Ajayi has perfected plans to dump the ruling All Progressives Congress for the Peoples Democratic Party less than five months to the October 10, 2020 governorship election in the state.

Findings revealed that the deputy governor’s defection plan has created disaffection among top members of the APC and loyalists of Akeredolu, who had been pleading with Ajayi not to leave the party.

PLOT TO IMPEACH ONDO STATE DEPUTY GOVERNOR THICKENS

Moves have intensified for the possible removal of the Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Mr Agboola Ajayi, on account of worsening relationship with Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, the Governor of the state.

Reliable sources, opting for anonymity on account of the sensitivity of the known details of the growing distrust between the two All Progressives Congress – APC’s bigwigs, disclosed that Governor Akeredolu has allegedly convinced the Chairman of the party in Ondo State, Mr. Ade Adetimehin to shop for willing lawmakers that could be trusted to decisively nail the political coffin of Mr. Agboola Ajayi.

One of the sources told our correspondent that at least an initial unappropriated whopping sum of N100Million may have been voted for the “Agboola Ajayi Must Go” battle.

Corroborating what was widely circulating in the public domain on Tuesday, one source said that Governor Akeredolu purportedly commissioned Chairman Adetimehin to cultivate at least eight lawmakers that could be loyal to pursue a legislative agenda of impeaching his enstranged deputy.
Each of the lawmakers is allegedly penciled down to be rewarded with at least a sum of N5Million only.

On account of the possible backlash that could arise from the decision to remove the Deputy Governor, who is known to be a political juggernaut, the State Chairman of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Comrade Jacob Adebo (a.k.a. Idajo), is said to have been commissioned to follow-up with a wave of violence.

Sources familiar with the plot further told our correspondent that the Govenor may consider a complete lock down of the State using the pretext of noveau COVID 19 pandemic, to frustrate any backlash that could follow the removal of his deputy.

Several aides of the Governor were contacted by our reporters before press time, but there was no reaction on the serious allegations.

The Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr. Donald Ojogo, declined comments, saying he would not react to speculations. He, however, was warned of administrative topshot attending an all-night meeting at Government House, Alagbaka, Akure, up till early hours this Wednesday. The agenda of the meeting with the Governor remain unknown. But another Cabinet member confided in our correspondent that the differences and issues between the two feuding fellows are almost “irreconciliable at this point”.

Text messages to both Governor Akeredolu and his deputy were not replied.

BLAME ONDO DEPUTY GOVERNOR, NOT AKEREDOLU, FOR AROGBO-IJAW MARGINALISATION .........DONALD OJOGO

Ahead of the October 10 governorship election in Ondo State, politicking has commenced across the state. In this interview, the state Information and Orientation Commissioner, Donald Ojogo, defends his principal, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu(SAN), on the alleged marginalisation of Ijaw in the state and highlighted all development projects embarked upon by him in the minority Ese-Odo council area of the state. Excerpts:

* There is this allegation by the APC lawmaker representing Ese-Odo State Constituency that the minority Ijaw in the state are being marginalised by the Akeredolu-led government.

- As a representative of the people, he is entitled to his own opinion and views. I’m also from the area. When I read through the interview, three things came to my mind: either he was inspired by lack of adequate information, or he was misquoted or he acted out of emotions.

These are pardonable instances. Very pardonable. But the truth of the matter is that it will be wrong for him to say that this is the only government, unlike previous governments, that has marginalised the Ijaw.

Yes, I want more development for my people; you cannot but stop lobbying for projects to be taken to your area. But again, we must be able to differentiate between proper representation and activism. What I’ve seen is not proper representation. It is blackmail at play.

When he said less than N50 million worth of projects have been attracted to the area, well I don’t know if he was informed of the cost of the Sabome/Igbotu Road that was constructed by this current administration. It was constructed at a cost of over N600 million.

Ask him who owns ITDC, the contractor that executed the job; a high-ranking official of the government from that area. I wouldn’t know if he also has information about the road linking Agadagbaobon and Amapere that is almost 50 percent completed.

I also would not know whether he is aware of the 12 primary schools that are either being reconstructed, renovated or rehabilitated by the current government in Ese-Odo Local Government Area, out of which eight were handled by the same official who I suspect is the lawmaker’s source of inspiration.

* Then what do you think is the missing link?

- We are all Ijaw from Ese-Odo. I’m a full-blooded Arogbo-Ijaw man. My mother and my father are all Arogbo. So nobody can claim to love Arogbo more than me.

When you talk about the governor not liking Ijaw people, I laugh because this is a governor whose mother is also an Ijaw woman and deputy from Ese-Odo.

That was the reason the governor handed over everything concerning Ese-Odo to his deputy to handle. Nobody can claim to be more Ijaw than Governor Akeredolu who is from Ese-Odo. His mother is from Igbotu. So what are people trying to insinuate?

The truth over the matter is that from what I have seen, it is a proxy battle and it is unfortunate that my brother will make himself available to start this rehearsal, which I feel enriches some self-delusions. If he was properly informed maybe he would have known that this is the first time Ijaw will properly represent themselves on the board of OSOPADEC on the basis of oil production status.

Previous governments have never done it before. It had always been on the basis of senatorial representation, but this time around, this is the first time someone for Ese-Odo will be Secretary of OSOPADEC board. Perhaps, he may have forgotten that this is the only governor, the first and only governor, who stood his grounds and insisted that enough of this marginalisation of the Arogbo-Ijaw and that it is time they must to go to the National Assembly even when he knew that they were powerful forces who didn’t want the Ijaw to get the ticket of the House of Representatives.

He insisted that the Ijaw have not had a fair share and that for the first time, a governor provided the platform for the Ijaw by ensuring the House of Representatives ticket of our party, the APC, was given to them.

But we should now ask ourselves, what happened to that laudable platform that was provided by the governor who they claimed does not like the Ijaw people? The same Ijaw of Ese-Odo, who are inspiring the lawmaker to be careless and tactless, sabotaged the great efforts of the governor because of their primordial interests. So, who is blaming who?

The cry of marginalisation is not peculiar to the Ijaw people. Yes, we will continue to cry for even development and equitable representation, but it didn’t start today so. It is out of the desire to blackmail a sitting governor that he has come out to make the statement that this is the only governor who has marginalised the Ijaw, unlike the previous governments.

* Are you saying the lawmaker knows all these but decide to be economical with the truth about the governor and the party?

- He even knows more than these. If he is talking about the marginalisation of the Ijaw, I expected him to ask a pertinent question: why did we not have at least one of the big OSOPADEC projects out of three that were given to Ese-Odo, in Arogbo?

OSOPADEC earmarked to embark on seven major projects, very good projects, that won’t be less than N100 million each. Four in Ilaje and three in Ese-Odo. In the whole of Arogbo none was considered. The three that came to Ese-Odo, the deputy governor out of hatred for the Arogbo people, ignored us.

So much for Ijaw marginalisation. Not even one was given to us because he decided the citing of the three projects. I can tell you that rather than blame the governor, we should ask the deputy governor how fair has he been in the exercise of the privilege given to him by Governor Akeredolu?

The deputy governor has been most unfair to Arogbo-Ijaws. Blame not Akeredolu.

* The lawmaker threw another salvo that the governor has not reflected the minority status of the Ijaw in appointments and employments…

- When we come to employment, the answer to that is too close and very recent. Just two months ago, the state Ministry of Justice recruited 22 young lawyers. Out of these, four are from Arogbo. The honourable in question even had a slot.

In OSOPADEC, he influenced the empIoyment of his sibling only recently. That is laudable. But then, I expect the lawmaker to ask how many of our Arogbo people were employed when the governor entrusted the employment of staff at the Igbekebo General Hospital in the hands of the deputy governor?

I can tell you that out of the over 200, we have less than 16. The man should ask his sponsor who got the rest.

AKURE EXPLOSION: I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE EXPLOSIVES IN MY TRUCK...... TRUCK DRIVER

Four days after the explosion which occurred in Ondo State, the driver of the truck that conveyed the explosives, Mr Isiaka Yinusa, said he did not know that his vehicle carried explosive devices.

The explosion occurred on Akure-Owo Expressway, at Ilu Abo town in the Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State in the early hour of Saturday, injuring several people and destroying no fewer than 70 buildings in the community.

Yinusa, together with some other people were injured in the accident and were rushed to the University of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital, Akure, the state capital, where he had since been receiving treatment.

Speaking on his hospital bed, the victim said he was hired to take a consignment to Auchi, Edo State, after the vehicle that was bringing the consignment from Ibadan became faulty in Osu, Osun State. He said he was oblivious of the contents of the consignment.

He further stated that the consignment was being es**rted by some policemen.

According to him, on their way to Auchi, the truck developed a fault in Akure, the Ondo State capital. He said one of the police es**rts advised that they should move the vehicle away from the highly populated area, when they could not rectify the fault.

He said, “We got to Akure around 6pm and we took time to relax at Shasha market area where we planned to sleep and continue the journey the following day. So I slept inside the vehicle.

“As I was sleeping inside the truck, I heard a knock on the vehicle door by someone who informed me that smoke was coming out from under the vehicle.

“We quickly moved.

The policeman that led the team said we should move ahead.

As we were moving on, the policemen in the es**rt said that I should stop.

As we got down, I saw fire coming out from the vehicle. We brought out fire extinguishers to put it out.

“As we were doing that, suddenly the policemen shouted that everybody should run.

As I was running, I heard a bang and noticed something in my abdomen. That was all I knew and the next thing was that I woke up in the hospital.”
