THE crisis in the All Progressives Congress APC, in Ondo State, deepened yesterday, as the runner up in the governorship primaries, Dr Olusegun Abraham has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and other security agencies to probe and prosecute those, who doctored the delegates’ list used for the primaries.

Abraham, who addressed newsmen, in Akure yesterday, also called for the investigation of National Working Committee, NWC, members and the party secretariat over alleged corruption.

Abraham insisted that “my stolen mandate should be returned so that the injustice and corruption would not rubbish the anti-corruption crusade of the President.”

The aggrieved aspirant also maintained that “this mandate is not just mine, it belongs to the entire people of the state, those behind the padded delegates’ list must be prosecuted, we don’t want it to be extended to other states of the federation.”

Nine aspirants support Akeredolu

Meanwhile, nine aspirants, who participated in the primaries have thrown their weight behind Akeredolu.

They include, Jamiu Ekungba, Jumoke Anifowose Ajasin, Tunji Abayomi, Victor Olabimtan, Tayo Alasoadura and Bode Ayorinde.
