Oshiomhole: Ondo govt denies jubilation in state over verdict

THE Ondo state government Thursday described as untrue and mischievous the report that there were jubilations in the state over court verdict that suspended the national chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomole.

Information and Orientation Commissioner Donald Ojogo said this in Akure at a press conference.

Ojogo said ” Every well-meaning member of the party was concerned when the Appeal Court gave its verdict.

“The level of concern may vary but as leaders and members of APC in Ondo State we were greatly concerned not because of any personal reason but because we felt that the party didn’t need whatever intrigues that may shake the table at this point in time.

” So, like every other member of the party nationwide, we were all concerned.

” We found very shocking when a news item that was promoted in one of these platforms saying that supporters of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu were jubilating over the decision of the appeal court.

“We have resolved that we must put the record straight. We are coming to this point not because we’re rattled by the report but we see it as a very untoward part and it is a trajectory we must stop from flourishing.

“The author of that report in all intents and purposes wanted to create an unexisting frosty relationship between Mr Governor and the leadership of the APC.
