The crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ondo State is taking another dimension as the party secretariat were locked up early Monday morning by yet to be identified ritualists.
The suspected ritualists put Ogun shrine at the entrance gate to the office located at Oyemekun road in Akure.
Our reporter recalled that two weeks ago, some aggrieved party members led by one Barr. Tolu Babaleye and Hon. Saka Yusuf Ogunleye had locked up the party secretariat preventing the party chairman, Hon. Isaac Kekemeke, from entering the office.
The aggrieved group were said to be upset over the alleged moved by a national leader of the party, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu to impose one of the governorship aspirants in the party, Mr. Segun Abraham, as the sole party candidate.
The group also accused the party chairman of moving around and using the party organ to solicit support and votes for the said candidate ahead of the party primary election slated for September
We further gathered that the crisis has led to the state executive members removing Kekemeke , even though the national body said it is not aware of his removal.
The motive behind the fetish incident at the party secretariat we have learnt may be to prevent the embattled chairman from holding the state Executive Committee meeting at the secretariat slated for today.
