The first runner-up in the September 2016 governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo state, Olusegun Abraham, has expressed hope that Governor Rotimi Akeredolu would soon be removed from office.

He was reacting to the Appeal Court’s ruling, which struck out the application for stay of court proceedings filed by Akeredolu with regard to the APC primary in 2016.

Abraham had approached a Federal High Court in Abuja to contest the election of Akeredolu as the candidate of the APC in the last governorship election.

The court, however, adjourned the suit filed by Abraham indefinitely to await the decision of the Court of Appeal on the fundamental issue of service and of stay of proceedings.

Democracy

In a statement issued by the Director General of Abraham Support Group, Kunle Davies, Abraham said the ruling was a clear indication that democracy was being strengthened and becoming more people oriented.

”The events leading to the 2015 Ondo State APC primary is still fresh in our memories.

”The unilateral act of our party national chairman to submit the name of Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu as the candidate of the party contrary to the decision of the party’s Appeal Committee and the National Working Committee is also fresh in our memories.

”This is a quit notice to Mr. Akeredolu and his members to vacate the state house that was acquired illegally,” he said.
