Some members of the All Progressives Congress in Ogbagi Akoko Ward six in Ondo State have rejected members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who recently defected to the party.
The PDP defectors were led by Bobade Gboyega popularly known as Danger, reports The Nation.
They described as unacceptable, null and void, the acceptance of the PDP defectors by some leaders of the party in the locality.
The Ogbagi APC leaders spoke when Senior Special Assistant to Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa on Community Engagement (Ondo North) Honourable Bode Obanla, visited the Ward as part of his fact finding and reconciliations to communities in Ondo North Senatorial district.
They said APC members were hoodwinked into accepting Bobade as a member of the party and vowed never to accept “Danger” into the APC.
Obanla, however informed them that he was at Ogbagi for an oversight function as well as initiate reconciliatory engagement to understudy the remote cause of the crises that led to the brutal attack on Hon Eli Awe, Akoko North West Local Government Director General, (DG )Aiyedatiwa Campaign.
He said the the attack on Awe would not be swept under the carpet.
Obanla said there was nothing to worry over the wrong signal and negative perception that acceptance of PDP defectors has caused.
“Let me reassure you that Gov. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa is not only a peace loving governor but a man whose blood is flowing with kindness rather than being portrayed as an apathetic person
“The door to APC as a party is open to all and sundry, but not to perpetrators of dastard acts trying to use decamping to evade punishment.
“These culprits must be brought to book and the full weight of the law must be allowed to take its toll on them to serve as deterrent to others.”
