The aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress in Ondo State have called on the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, to fulfil the promise he made to them before the general elections.
The 206 members of the APC under the auspices of the Ondo APC Aggrieved Aspirants, were aspirants in the House of Representatives and House of Assembly elections in 2018. They were allegedly denied party tickets following the alleged imposition of candidates by the National Working Committee of the party.
It was gathered that 108 of the aspirants approached the Federal High Court to challenge the action of the party but the Vice President reportedly met with them and appealed to them to withdraw the case and promised to compensate them after the general elections.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, by a former Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Mr. Kenneth Olawale, on behalf of the aggrieved aspirants, they said the case was withdrawn in honour of Osinbajo but after the election, he (Osinbajo) was yet to fulfill his promise.
The aggrieved aspirants, in the statement, accused the VP and the national leadership of the party of abandoning them after achieving their goals in Ondo State.
