The South-West Youth Leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on Agboola Ajayi, deputy governor of Ondo state, to strip himself of his immunity and defend an allegation against Babajide Akeredolu, son of the governor.

Ajayi had alleged that the governor’s son made N430 million as consultancy fee in the discovery of a N4.3billion of the state government found in a secret account.

But in a statement, Kolade Lawal, south-west youth leader of the APC, said such a claim is least expected from a man holding a position of responsibility.

Lawal said the information is untrue, and deliberately misleading for the innocent members of the public.

He asked Ajayi to prepare to present evidence to his claims in the court, as the victim of the false information has vowed to seek redress in court.

“The South West Youth Leadership had written a letter to Ondo State house of assembly to inquire if there was any consultant involved in the process of the discovery of the #4.3 billion, and they were reliably informed that no consultant was involved,” he said.

“Furthermore, the victim of the media assault, Mr Babajide Akeredolu is a member of the APC, and a Committed constituent. To this extent, the APC Southwest youth leadership is prepared do everything humanly possible to protect him, in his personal capacity as a member of the party.”

He implored Ajayi to engage the public with he wants to do, if he has any plan.

Ajayi is the candidate of the Zenith Labour Party in the election.
