The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State has reacted to allegations by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa disapproved the usage of Democracy Park in Akure for flagging off its campaign.
Describing the allegation as not only false but also mischievous, APC explained that Governor Aiyedatiwa does not have direct dealings with the management of Democracy Park.
Mr Steve Otaloro, APC Director of Media stated that “We are compelled to respond to the baseless allegations leveled by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa the Ondo State Governor.
“The PDP claims that Governor Aiyedatiwa denied them access to Democracy Park for their campaign flag-off, citing pettiness and a lack of statesmanship.
“This allegation is not only false, but also mischievous. Governor Aiyedatiwa does not have direct dealings with the management of Democracy Park, and as such, he cannot unilaterally deny any individual or organization access to the facility.
“The governor is committed to upholding the principles of fairness and justice, and he would not engage in petty politics.
“It’s essential to note that the use of public facilities like Democracy Park is guided by established rules and regulations.
“If the PDP has fulfilled all requirements, including payment and paperwork, there’s no basis for denial. We urge the PDP to verify their claims and provide evidence of payment and approval.
“We view this allegation as a desperate attempt to score cheap political points. Governor Aiyedatiwa’s administration has consistently demonstrated its commitment to good governance, transparency, and accountability.
“We will not be distracted by frivolous allegations and will continue to focus on delivering dividends of democracy to the people of Ondo State.
“We advise the PDP to focus on issue-based campaigning rather than spreading falsehoods and misinformation. The people of Ondo State deserve better.”
