Senator Ayo Akinyelure Reclaims Cars From Ondo PDP Officials
According to the New Telegraph, Ayo Akinyelure, the senator representing Ondo Central, has allegedly begun reclaiming vehicles given to some Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) officials after losing his bid to return to the upper house of the Parliament for the third time.
On Monday, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions finished second in the Ondo Central senatorial primary, trailing Ifedayo Adedipe (SAN), who won with 82 votes. Akinyelure received 58 votes, with Chief Clement Faboyede, the ex-Ondo State PDP Chairman, coming in third with 57 votes.
The legislator was believed to have sought his vehicles back from the leaders after being dissatisfied with the primary’s outcome despite the money and vehicles he allegedly utilized for the election.
Akinyelure, according to a party official, retrieved the vehicles handed to Chief Segun Adegoke, a member of the PDP’s Board of Trustees (BOT), and Mr Wole Akindiose, a former PDP Chairman in Ondo East and National delegate to the party’s upcoming convention.
According to Charles Akinwon, Akinyelure’s Media and Strategy Adviser, the Senator only retrieved the vehicle given to Akindiose because of his role in the primaries.
Akinyelure had blamed the loss on Monday on the immediate past Governor, Olusegun Mimiko.
