‘Ilaje ACN hasn’t adopted any candidate’

[TheNation]

 The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State yesterday denied a report that its members have endorsed some governorship aspirants for the October 20 election.

A chieftain of the party, Mr. Ade Odusola (also known as Odiye), described the report as baseless.

He said the ACN in area could not unilaterally adopt anybody from among several aspirants jostling to unseat Governor Olusegun Mimiko.

Odusola said: “All our aspirants are qualified to lead the party, but there are guidelines on party nomination. Anyone who meets them will be chosen as the leader of the party and such a person will be accepted by all.

“Let it be known that Ilaje ACN cannot and will not adopt anyone ahead of the national leadership of the party.”

The party chieftain said the era of stealing and maladministration has gone, adding that anyone sponsoring such report is his or her own.

The ACN chieftain said the party remains one and that the so-called “authentic group” is unacceptable.
