The All Progressive Congress (APC) in Ondo State has accused Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, Ekiti State Kayode Fayemi, and the Minister of Transport, Chibuike Amaechi, of being the originators  of the present upheaval in the state.

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.
