Ondo guber election: Live monitoring, news, updates

The Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ondo State, Mr Steve Otaloro, has debunked claims by the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, that APC sent thugs to Ofosun in Idanre Local Government Area to disrupt the election.

The party spokesperson said information reaching them indicated that there is “nothing like that.”

Otaloro said: “I’m in the situation room of APC right now. Let me say first and foremost, the person you mentioned is the deputy governorship candidate of Agboola Ajayi of the PDP.

“And if you recall, PDP had a press conference two days ago alleging the kind of violence that took place in that place was by APC.

“All the places he mentioned, was he on ground in all those places? He’s supposed to be at his polling unit. Even if he was called, he should have done proper diligence to be on ground.

“They told us there was nothing like that. Voting is going on orderly. If they have any issue with that, they just want to create an issue out of nothing.

“Whatever violence that is happening, they should investigate it properly. But I can assure you it is not from our members.”
