As reported by The Punch, the group disclosed this in a petition written to the APC national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje in Abuja on Saturday, November 9.

The Coordinator of Ondo Patriots, Dele Oyewo, rubbished the primary election that produced Governor Aiyedatiwa as the APC candidate.

“Rather, they prefer their own choice of settlement over any resulting consequences. The voices of Ondo APC hereby condemn what it describes as gross misconduct against party ethics in the choice of Aiyedatiwa, if we are truly different from the PDP and what we preached before the 2015 general elections.

“Having reviewed the credentials of all the major contenders for the forthcoming governorship election in our state, we, the major APC groups in Ondo, have decided to support Otunba Benson Akingboye of the Social Democratic Party as our choice. We cannot continue to suffer in silence.”
