The Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ondo State, Mr Steve Otaloro has debunked claims by the People?s Democratic Party, PDP, that it (APC) sent thugs to Ofosun in Idanre local government area to disrupt the Governorship election.

The party spokesperson said information reaching them indicated that there is ?nothing like that.?

Otaloro said: ?I?m in the situation room of APC right now.

Let me say first and foremost, the person you mentioned is the deputy governorship candidate of Agboola Ajayi of the PDP.

And if you recall PDP had a press conference two days ago alleging the kind of violence that took place in that place was by APC. All the places he mentioned, was he on the ground in all those places? He was supposed to be at his polling unit even if he was called, he should have done proper diligence to be on the ground. They told us there was nothing like that. Voting is going on orderly, if they have any issue with that, they just want to create an issue out of nothing. As I speak, no member of our political party is going out to vote as a member, everybody has become an electorate, whatever violence is happening, they should investigate it properly, but I can assure you it is not from our members.

?How will you infiltrate all those local areas, these are routes, farm settlements. Why will our members infiltrate such places, that is not true.

?Often than not, maybe their plans were busted, and that was why he is coming up with this allegation. And since morning, this election has started peacefully, they should allow it to end peacefully. We as a political party, are committed to peace, and we have told our people to allow peace to reign in all the activities, at the course of this election.? (Saturday Vanguard)
