We Won’t Support A Candidate That Worked For ADP In Guber Election- Ikirun APC Members
Members of the All Progressives Congress APC in Ikirun have vowed not to work for the party’s candidate for Ifelodun/Boripe-Odo-Otin Federal Constituency Hon Lekan Afolabi in the coming general election over alleged anti party activities.
Rejecting to the candidature of Afolabi, the group alleged that Afolabi worked for the candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), Alhaji Moshood Adeoti in the September 22, governorship election in Osun State.
Speaking with journalists in Ikirun, on Wednesday, the APC members under the aegis of APC Liberation Movement, said the party will lose the House of Representatives election if it did not rescind its decision on Afolabi’s candidature.
Coordinator of the group, Mr Wahab Adedokun said: “Hon Lekan Afolabi does not deserve the APC ticket. He did not participate in the governorship campaign. He stayed aloof throughout the campaign.
“He voted for ADP on September 22 governorship election. We got to know this when he wanted to drop his ballot paper in the box and it was blew away by air.
“Up till now, he has not talked to any APC leader or member in Ikirun and Ifelodun local government at large. Since he was declared the candidate, he has not been talking to anybody outside the camp that worked for the ADP in the election.
“The question is, if APC had lost the governorship election, would he have the opportunity of contesting under the same platform? Afolabi is no longer an APC member, and he should not be given any opportunity in the party. And as a member of the party, we cannot vote for somebody that worked against our party.
