The Boluwaduro Democratic Vanguard (BDV), has accused a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Bisi Akande of planing to impose his daughter, Dr, Temitope Ilori, as House of Representatives candidate; THIS DAY reported.
A statement issued on behalf of the group by Mr. Tunde Ogundeji, read, "We have it on good authority that Baba (Akande) has started sinister moves to anoint his daughter, Mrs. Ilori as the House candidate in Boluwaduro/Ila, Ifedayo federal constituency. It will be dangerous for our dear leader and other stakeholders not to clear the air on this issue speedily, especially as the governorship election is around the corner.
"For true lovers of our democracy, our leaders should by now understand that imposition and anointing of candidates will only destroy the party and diminish our acceptability. We are sounding this note of caution requesting that the APC leadership and the affected leader make their stand known on this issue before the governorship election.
"It is important to remind our leaders that when there is mistrust in the party system, there is every likelihood for consequences which may not be in the interest of the APC.
"Chief Akande, at this point, should be a reference point for true democratic ideals and should not stain his political credentials by promoting such issue that may portray him as cornering everything for his immediate family.After all, his daughter is a serving commissioner. If she is interested in running for the House, she should come to the field like others,” Ogundeji added.
Akande's daughter is currently the Osun state Commissioner for Health.
