Signs of crack within the Ondo State All Progressives Congress, APC, surfaced on Sunday, following the decision of groups within the party to support the governorship candidate of Social Democratic Party, SDP, Benson Akingboye against Lucky Aiyedatiwa of APC ahead of the November 16 governorship election.
The groups which comprise Ondo Patriots, Ondo APC Solidarity Group, Jagaban Coalition and APC Youth League, among others, said the process that produced Aiyedatiwa as the candidate of APC was faulty which informed their decision to pitch tent with Akingboye . According to a statement issued on behalf of the groups by Dele Oyewo of Ondo Patriots, ''it was a known fact that Aiyedatiwa is an opportunist, turning ingrate on a daily basis to the ladders he used to rise''.
'It is natural except this is quickly corrected by the people of the state themselves through their ballot on November 16, that the state will be clouded by total darkness of hardship in the next couple of years. ''To this end, as far as the forthcoming election is concerned, SDP and its candidate are a better choice and will surely dismantle castles of lies put together by the APC and the PDP.
