APC Leaders, Members Call Ex- Commissioner, Aiyerin, a Mole

• Controversies Trail Aiyerin's Plan to rejoin APC 

A former commissioner for Agriculture under governor Mimiko's administration, Charles Olusegun Aiyerin, has been resisted members and leaders of All Progressives Congress, APC, in his political ward, Ilutitun Ward I, in Okitipupa local government area of Ondo State.

Aiyerin was alleged to be a mole of the People's Democratic Party, PDP, being the party he left the APC for in the heat of the 2023 general elections and publicly worked for, against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). It was argued that he had not formally return to the APC as he openly did for PDP, and thus cannot be trusted.

It would be recalled that Ayerin publicly resigned from APC in a letter dated 6th of February, 2023, addressed to the Chairman, Ward one Ilutitun in a disparaging manner that put the APC in a public odium. 

In the letter and subsequently, Aiyerin allegedly castigated and campaigned vigorously against all the APC candidates - The President, Senator, House of Reps members, House of Assembly members, and yet the party won all the elections. Even in Pastor Aiyerin's polling unit, he was defeated “flat-footed”. 

Barely a year that Pastor Aiyerin defected from the APC to PDP, and after vigorously working and holding series of meetings with Atiku/Okowa campaign group in the state, he was said to be parading himself as a member of APC across Ondo State. 

Meanwhile, the supposed ward meeting convened last Sunday, 21st January, 2024, at the instance of Mr Aiyerin was disrupted by angry party youth as food items were scattered and thrown away and everybody ran for safety.

The party faithful insist that Aiyerin is not an APC member and that he lacks the locus standi to attend or convey any a meeting in the name of APC. They argued that if he wants to come back to the party, he should decamp formally and make it public like he did when he left the Party for PDP in 2023. "He cannot come back through the backdoor" Chief Julius Akinnawonu, a party chieftain has said.

Another party member,Mr. Ademola Ikuesan, argued, "We won all elections for APC in Ondo State without him. Do APC really need the man? NO! Did he  has any electoral value? your guess is as good as mine. Is he planning to rip where he did not sow, at the detriment of loyal APC members?"

The leaders and members of the party who also called on Governor Ayedatiwa and all Ondo APC leaders to beware of Mr Segun Aiyerin who they described as a mole. They also alleged the Ward Chairman, Mr. Ojuri Omojuwa, of anti-party activities, including conniving with Mr Aiyerin in PDP during the 2023 general elections.

Eleven Ondo Assembly Members Plot to Declare Aiyedatiwa Acting Governor After Receiving Bribe in Abuja

Image
In a shocking turn of events, eleven members of the Ondo State House of Assembly are allegedly planning to declare the embattled deputy governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, as acting governor without recourse to the governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.  These clandestine meetings reportedly took place in Abuja, where each of the eleven members received a substantial bribe of $10,000. Adding to the intrigue, the Chairman of the APC in the state, Engr. Ade Adetimehin, was present at the meeting, which raised suspicions that he had betrayed Governor Akeredolu in exchange for personal gratifications.  It is also said that some Northern Governors are involved in this move, seeking revenge against Governor Akeredolu for his stance on the southern Presidency and his  strong voice against the issue of killer herdsmen. Aiyedatiwa, backed by the state APC chairman, Adetimehin, has joined forces with certain individuals from Northern Nigeria to undermine Governor Akeredolu.  The disconte

Dele Momodu: Why should Yahaya Bello surrender himself to EFCC when there is an existing injunction?

Image
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dele Momodu, has faulted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission's conduct in its attempt to prosecute the immediate past Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello.  He said he had expected the anti-graft agency's boss, Ola Olukoyede, to have learnt from the cases of his predecessors, who he said were "booted out ignominiously". Momodu, who spoke on his Instagram Live show, while responding to questions on the burning topic by viewers, also frowned at the issue of selective prosecution, saying "a situation where EFCC would have to be told who can be touched and who cannot be touched is unacceptable."  He said, "When they brought in the new chairman, I thought oh, you will have the benefit of learning from your predecessors. All of them were booted out ignominiously and if I were in the shoes of the current chairman, what I will simply do is make sure I do my job as meticulously, as professio
