Barely three weeks to the Ondo State Governorship election, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state has written to President Muhammadu Buhari accusing the security agencies of culpability in the unending violence allegedly perpetrated by supporters of the ruling All progressive Congress, APC, ahead of the election.
In a similar development, candidate of the Zenith Labour Party, ZLP, in the Ondo governorship election, Agboola Ajayi has raised the alarm over the attack on his campaign secretariat by suspected thugs loyal to the ruling APC in the state.
PDP, in an open letter written by its state Publicity Secretary, Kennedy Peretei, appealed to Buhari to call his party in the state to order and stop the violence.
It warned that “The 1983 violence that engulfed Ondo State must not be allowed to recur. The service chiefs had been giving free access to the political thugs assembled to maim and kill the people of Ondo State in order to achieve a desired political objective.
