The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Ondo State, has alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, is plotting to use operatives of the Amotekun Corps for the November 16 governorship election in the state.
The opposition party while raising the alarm, stated that the development called for concern following the appointment of the Commander of Amotekun Corps, Akogun Adetunji Adeleye, as Chairman of the Security Committee of the APC campaign council in the state.
While describing the situation as a move to deploy Amotekun operatives as thugs during the poll, the PDP, in a statement signed by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the governorship candidate of the party, Ayo Fadaka, vowed to resist the alleged plot.
We take serious cognisance of actions the APC continues to take with a view to criminally compromise the November 16th election. These sundry actions, which began weeks ago, are beginning to crystallise.
They have been given an imprimatur of officialdom with the announcement of a Security Committee under the chairmanship of the State Commander of the Amotekun Corps, Chief Tunji Adeleye.
