Hon. Henry Olu Olatuja,Chairman of the APC in the state has pointed an accusing finger to the three apex politicians of starting  an undemocratic process leading to an intra-party mayhem in the state.

Furthermore,Olatuji said ten out of the governorship aspirants in the state for July 20 governorship primary may boycott the exercise.

He added that the aspirants will not be part of the primary election should the Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee (CEONCPC) insist on the indirect mode of primary for the party’s primary in the state.

Recall that leadership of the Ondo state House of Assembly has suspended the deputy speaker of state’s House of Assembly, Irioju Ogundeji, and another member of the House, Adewale Williams.

It was reported that both lawmakers were among the nine lawmakers that kicked against the impeachment move against deputy governor of the state, Agboola Ajayi.
