Prof. Sola Ehindero, a former Vice Chancellor of Atiba University in Oyo State and the Secretary, Screening Committee of the APC Unity Forum, has attacked the chairman of the group, Alhaji Ali Olanusi, over the alleged fake report of Olusola Oke’s endorsement as consensus candidate of the group.

Reacting to the purported endorsement of Oke, Prof Ehindero, in a statement on Tuesday, said Olanusi is not appropriately qualified and morally empowerd to issue any report on the committee’s deliberations mainly because he is currently a principal suspect in a bribery allegation related to the integrity and credibility of the report of the screening committee.

He also said that no consensus candidate has been elected as at today, May 12, 2020, by the committee for which he is the Secretary.

According to him, the report that was fraudulently released by Ali Olanusi did not emanate from the accredited secretary’s office nor does it reflect the true deliberations and conclusion of the members of the screening Committee.

The full state reads:

“The attention of the duly elected secretary of the Screening Committee of the Unity Forum set up to select a consensus candidate for the APC in the next governorship elections has been drawn to a fake report from an unauthorised person.”

“The said fake report now in the social media, purportedly named one Chief Olusola Oke(SAN) as the Committee’s elected “concensus candidate”.

“As secretary to the Committee and custodian of all its delineations and records of the committee, I wish to call the attention of all members of the Forum in particular and the public at large to the following.”

“(1) H.E. Ali Olanusi is NOT appropriately qualified and moraly empowerd to issue any report on the committee’s deliberations mainly because he is currently a principal suspect in a bribery allegation related to the integrity and credibility of the report of the screening committee.”

“(2) no input has been made into the report by other members of the parent body which originally set up the screening committee,i.e. the report is yet to be brought to the general meeting of the Unity Forum for consideration.”

“(3) As of today(12.5.20), no consensus candidate has been elected by the committee for which I am Secretary. Hence, the report that has been fraudulently released by Ali Olanusi neither emanates from the accredited secretary’s office nor does it reflect the true deliberations and conclusion of the members of the screening Committee.”

“Rather, the fake report is inspired, sponsored and programmed by known and disguised enemies of both the Unity Forum and the APC in the Ondo state and it is designed to tactically distract the attention and focus of our collective efforts and determination to rescue Ondo State from the grips of the present administration.”

“The report is in essence a sponsored, compromised and fraudulent negotiated document to weaken the Unity Forum and pave the way for a WEAK candidate who can colaborate with the present administration in the state to tactically facilitate the resuscitation and emergency of the PDP preparatory to the surrender of the APC administration to the PDP in Ondo state through a previously negotiated agreement.”

“I therefore urge all loyal and dedicated members of the Unity Forum and the APC in the State to IGNORE Ali Olanusi’s home grown and compromised report. I also appeal to our respected National Leaders (Asiwaju Tinubu & others) & particularly our State Leader Distinguished Senator Ajayi Boroffice to DISTANCE themselves from the fraudulent Olanusi- inspired report.”

“In REALITY the report represents a coded and very POISNOUS POLITICAL PILL with the potency and deadlines to destabilse majority of our loyal Unity Forum members and destroy our dear party. For now, as the authentic leadership of the party are holding consultations with all the loyal aspirants and the party leadership in Abuja and Lagos to select a CONCENSUS candidate.”

“I urge you all to continue to ignore and distance yourselves from H.E. Ali Olanusi’s FAKE report which is not only cancerous but which in addition, is already plagued by dishonesty, deceit, inconsistency and fraud,” Prof Ehindero said in the statement.
