Ondo Decides 2020: AAC Denies Endorsing Jegede, Tags Development As 'Unholy'

African Action Congress (AAC)  one of the parties contesting at the forthcoming Governorship election in Ondo state has denied endorsing the Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Eyitayo Jegede.

Distancing the party from the political parties that declared support for Jegede, the National Chairman of AAC Omoyele Sowore described the development as an unholy endorsement.

Titled ‘The African Action Congress (AAC) denies endorsing Jegede for Ondo Election’, the statement by Sowore read:

 “Our attention has been drawn to a false publication across the media about 11 political parties endorsing @OfficialPDPNig candidate Eyitayo Jegede in the forthcoming Ondo gubernatorial election in which our dear party @aacParty was also falsely reported to be part of the unholy endorsement.

“We want to make it categorically clear and loud that as a revolutionary party, we are not and will never be part of an alliance or endorsement which only objective and goal is to continue to weaponise poverty and keep Nigerians in 21st-century slavery.

“We distance completely from this unholy alliance and also want to use this opportunity to appeal to all members and supporters of our dear party including the general public to disregard the information being peddled around the media space. The @aacparty is a party of oppressed Nigerians (poor and working people) and will continue to fight and stand with the masses.”

It will be recalled that AllNews on Monday reported that 11 political parties in Ondo state collapsed their party's structure to work with Jegede at the governorship poll.
