APC group: we’ve not withdrawn case against Adetimehin-led exco

The acting factional Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Mr. Olu Olatuja, has said the faction has not withdrawn the case it instituted against the Ade Adetimehin-led state party executive committee (exco).

Olatuja, briefing reporters yesterday in Akure, said that the suit against the Adetimehin-led exco was instituted by 13 people, stressing that the withdrawal by one person would not stop the case.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the former Chairman of the faction, Mr. Idowu Otetubi, had, on Sunday, expressed support for the Adetimehin-led executive, saying he had withdrawn the suit.

NAN also reports that Adetimehin is the chairman of the APC faction working with Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.

Olatuja, however, said that the Adetimehin-led executive committee remained illegal and that his own executive committee would continue the litigations without giving in to any intimidation.

He advised party leaders within and outside the state to shun the alleged intrigues by the Akeredolu-led government and the Adetimehin faction, saying money would not buy the conscience of the people.
