The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State yesterday debunked the report calling on the police and the Directorate of State Services (DSS) to investigate the activities of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the state.
The state Publicity Secretary, Omo'ba Abayomi Adesanya, in a statement last Wednesday, also expressed the need for the total overhauling of staff in the Commission ahead of the November 26 governorship election in the state.
Adesanya accused the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) Segun Agbaje and the Commission's Administrative Secretary, Kabir Omosanya, of complicity with the faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State led by one Clement Faboyede.
However, the APC chairman, Isaac Kekemeke, said his executives were not privy to the statement.
According to him, "before any statement of such could be made public, it must be agreed upon and ratified by the party executives.
"But the publicity secretary who issued the statement must have equipped only himself with facts of the allegation, which spurred him to unilaterally fire the shot without inputs of the state excos."
Kekemeke said he received calls from many APC leaders within and outside the state on the sensitive allegation.
"I just told them that Adesanya must have got the proofs of the allegation before issuing the statement.
"Although, the allegation had caused a lot of embarrassment to the party but as the party chairman, I have no pre-knowledge of the allegation and none of my colleague was aware of it. We did not discuss it at any of our meetings and as such we are not a party to the allegation against the REC."
