Akure, Ondo state – Triumphant Lucky Aiyedatiwa, candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the Ondo governorship election, has dismissed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP’s) claim of buying their way to victory.
Recall that speaking on behalf of the PDP candidate in the 2024 Ondo state governorship election, Agboola Ajayi, the party’s state collation agent, Olaniyi Ogungbuji, had accused the ruling APC of deploying over N35 billion to induce voters.
Ogungbuji said: “This is the end result of the election, but I can tell you that APC as a party deployed over N35 billion to induce the electorate. If this is the future of this nation, I think we are doomed.
Furthermore, Ogungbuji added that following the PDP’s loss, Ajayi and the party leadership would determine the next steps in the coming days.
