2023: AKEREDOLU AND ONDO APC BUY PVC AT 20,000 EACH.
“Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu and All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State have hatched a very wicked plan to compromise the elections.
“Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ondo State Chapter uncovered the ongoing exercise of asking unsuspecting voters to submit their voters’ card and collect N20,000 naira. The details of the PVCs are immediately keyed into a database which will be used to perpetrate the havoc.
“It is clear that Akeredolu and his party have failed the people of Ondo State and will be roundly rejected at the polls. With the reality of failure staring them in the face, the only option open to them in their desperation is to resort to this undemocratic and barbaric act.
“In the last three days, the former SITA office, opposite the Police Officers Mess on Adekunle Ajasin road, Akure has experienced a beehive of activities with the supervision of Amotekun Corps officers where motorcyclists and market women have been deceived to come and collect 20,000 empowerment from the State Government.
“At about noon today, it was persons from Owo Local Government Area that were being attended to as the outside looked like a market. Akeredolu has weaponised hunger and this is what he is taking advantage of.
“A government that is owing more than three months salary arrears has as much as 20,000 to pay for one PVC before elections.
“Our party calls on Security Agents to as a matter of urgency call Akeredolu and APC to order as this plot has the capacity to compromise the 2023 elections.
“Leye Igbabo
Director of Media & Publicity, PDP, Ondo State.”
