The crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ondo State on Saturday, August 20, deepened, as the State Working Committee, SWC, of the party sacked the State Chairman Hon. Isaac Kekemeke, who is widely believed to be loyal to the National Leader of the Party, Bola Tinubu. The SWC accused Kekemeke of supporting and promoting one of the governorship aspirants ahead the August 27 primary of the party. They alleged that Kekemeke had concluded all arrangements to coerce party leaders and the delegates for the primary, to support the candidature of one of the aspirants, Dr. Segun Abraham, who they claimed is the anointed candidate of Tinubu. Recall, that one of the aspirants, Tunji Abayomi, had written a petition to Tinubu, accusing him of openly endorsing Abraham and also mandating the State Executive to ensure that he picks the party’s ticket. The National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has however exonerated Tinubu of any wrong doing over the allegation that he endorsed one of the party’s aspirants, ahead of the governorship primary. Oyegun, said this after a closed door meeting with all the aspirants at the National Secretariat of the party on Saturday, saying, “We have all accepted that there is nothing wrong in anybody, be it a member of the party, or non-member, endorsing any of the aspirants.
