Ondo Dep. Gov defection: Angry APC youths protest in Akoko over N500m defection fee

No Comments

The Akoko youth wing of the All Progressives Congress (APC), today, protested over the N500m "defection fee" being paid to the Deputy Governor of Ondo state, Alh. Ali Olanusi, for leaving the People's Democracy Party (PDP).

The angry youths barricaded the road leading to the Supare Akoko residence of the Deputy Governor. They are seen with placards with inscriptions such as "We don't want liability" "How many votes does he have" "Ali must go" "BringBackOurMoney" "We don't want dead weight"

According to one of the angry youths, Tobi Oyewole, the deputy Governor's exit from the PDP has relived the party of political burden and that no serious-minded political party can absorb any leader that has contributed nothing to his community.

"Ali Olanusi is a very sick old man who goes for medical check-up in Germany at least once in two weeks, he has never empowered any youth in Akoko land.

"He does not speak in public and sleeps at every government function. Olanusi did not win his ward in the 2012 governorship election in Ondo state. This is a man who doesn't even allow people to fetch water in his compound at Supare" Oyewole lamented.

The group said the Deputy Governor's move of joining the APC should be treated with all sense of suspicion as he may have been planted by Governor Mimiko as a mole to destroy the formation of the party ahead of Saturday's presidential election.

However, they said they will come out enmass to support their party on Saturday not minding the ugly development.
