The Ondo State Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Razak Obe has accused the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Funji-Ojo of orchestrating the crisis rocking the state’s chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
DAILY POST reports that the party plunged into crisis recently following the outcome of the primary election.
Some aspirants loyal to the state governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who failed to secure the party’s tickets after the National Assembly primaries, approached the court last week to challenge the outcome of the exercise.
The aggrieved aspirants are challenging the APC National Working Committee, NWC and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC over the results of the primaries and the list of candidates submitted by the party to the electoral body.
Speaking when he appeared on the Arise TV program on Tuesday, Razak alleged that the Interior Minister was behind the crisis.
According to him, the Minister is a close ally of the National Chairman of the ruling party and not on the side of the governor.
He said, “There is a clear political divide within the Ondo APC. While divisions are normal in politics, we expect balance.
“Without euphemism, the Minister of Interior is behind the crisis in the Ondo APC. He is on the opposing side, not on the side of the governor. All other stakeholders are aligned with him”.
