Sen. Ajayi Boroffice has said that he had not joined another political party as being rumoured.
Mr Kayode Fakuyi, the senator’s aide revealed this recently.
“Few days ago after a successful APC stakeholders’ meeting in Akure, a plot to link Sen. Boroffice to another party in Ondo State was hatched; the plot is diversionary.”
“The senator remains a chieftain of the APC in Ondo State and has not at anytime resigned his membership of the party nor at any moment joined another party,’’ Fakuyi said.
“As a grassroots politician and one of the founding fathers of APC in state, if he has any reason to join another party, it will attract statewide rallies and political carnivals.
“The evolution of the APC did not start with the 2016 governorship primary election in the state.
“It started in 2011 when Sen. Boroffice, as the only elected member of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Ondo State, mobilised fellow progressives to build the progressive family in the state,’’ he said.
“On the circulated letter, which purportedly appointed the deputy chairman of our party as the acting chairman, the letter is fake.
“Mr Isaac Kekemeke remains the state chairman of the party,” he said.
“If there is any allegation against the state chairman, the allegation should be investigated.
“Only the National Executive Committee of the party has the power to sack the state party chairman and appoint an acting chairman.
“It is on record that the NEC of our party has not considered the matter and has not taken any position on it. Any letter seeking his removal is fake in its entirety.
He said, “about 75 per cent of the party’s followers have declared support for the state chairman and no outsider can impose any pro-tempore chairman on our party.
“The letter, which purportedly appointed the deputy chairman as the acting chairman is fake.
“The well-attended meeting held on Nov. 27 deliberated on a number of issues and made far-reaching resolutions.
“Stakeholders passed a vote of confidence on Mr Isaac Kekemeke-led State Executive Committee (SEC) of the party and reiterated support for the APC-led Federal and Ondo State Governments,” he said.
