The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Oyo State chapter, has described as untrue, the claim by former Governor Rashidi Ladoja that the election of Governor Abiola Ajimobi would not have been made possible but for God and the Accord Party (AP).
The party, in a statement issued in Ibadan, on Monday, by its state publicity secretary, Mr Mathew Oyedokun, said rather than the Accord Party, Ajimobi's victory was made possible by God and the people of Oyo State.
While emphasising that Ladoja truly ran for the election and ran to win, ACN wondered why he could now be attributing to himself Ajimobi's victory, which he worked assiduously to scuttle.
The party recalled the strenuous efforts made by some concerned individuals, both within and outside the state, to prevail on Ladoja to step down for Ajimobi and how it was rebuffed by the former governor, who claimed to have all the chances in the world to win the election.
"While we rejoice with the former governor on the occasion of his birthday, we must, however, put the record straight, so as not to allow the good people of Oyo State to be misled into taking an outright lie for a gospel truth.
"For the avoidance of doubt, Accord Party was never part of our victory; rather, it was made possible by God and the people of the state," the party said.
