The Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on Wednesday, sharply criticized Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde for demanding the redeployment of Resident Electoral Commissioner Oluwatoyin Babalola.
Makinde made the call during the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) campaign flag-off in Akure, citing concerns over Babalola’s Ondo State origin.
APC Publicity Secretary Alex Kalejaiye swiftly responded, labeling Makinde’s remarks as “inappropriate” and emphasizing Babalola’s demonstrated “integrity, competence, and capacity” since taking office. Kalejaiye’s statement, titled ‘Ondo Not an Appendage of Oyo,’ cautioned Makinde to refrain from interfering in Ondo State’s political affairs.
