\"ONDO2020:<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ahead of the October 10 Ondo 2020 governorship election, supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) again clashed on Tuesday at Ipele and Owo towns leaving several persons injured and vehicles damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both parties have accused each other of planing the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The APC campaign spokesman, Olatunde Olabode claimed that the attack was masterminded by the PDP<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He claimed Mr Jegede \u201cordered his thugs to unleash coordinated attacks on the innocent people of Ipele and Ijebu in Owo local government area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur people were traumatised with the sound of gunshots sporadically by Eyiyato Jegede\u2019s thugs in Owo today,\u201d Mr Olabode said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEarlier today, on our way to Akoko Southwest in continuation of our local government campaign in Akoko South-west, we noticed that all our billboards and banners have been destroyed at Emure junction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSensing that the PDP might be in the main town, Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu ordered his campaign convoy to take another route out of the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDespite this, Eyitayo Jegede and the PDP still went ahead to cause mayhem in Owo by attacking innocent members of the public and anyone with APC or Akeredolu branded caps or T-Shirt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Kayode Fasua, the spokesman for the Eyitayo Jegede campaign, said the convoy of the PDP flag bearer, Eyitayo Jegede, was attacked in Ipele and Owo township in Owo Local Government \u201cby heavily armed APC political thugs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said a PDP member, Amuda Sikiru, was shot alongside two other PDP supporters, Taye Akintufede and Seun Ogunlade, were also shot by the APC thugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBesides, some of our campaign vehicles were damaged, as was witnessed in Oba-Akoko community recently,\u201d the PDP campaign spokesman said.
\u201cOne of the convoy\u2019s campaign trucks was completely burnt down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEarlier in the day, the same APC armed hoodlums had blocked the entry point to Ipele community, Jegede\u2019s maternal home, and attempted to turn back the campaign team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis spate of attacks on our members by the ruling party in the state is threatening the peace of the state, and is apparently intended to cause violence ahead of the October 10 governorship election.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the state police spokesperson, Tee Leo-Ikoro confirmed the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are accusations and counter accusations from the two parties, but the fact is that thugs from both parties engaged themselves in a fight,\u201d said Leo-Ikoro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat we are doing now is to determine which group first launched an attack, and then \u2018we will make them examples\u2019 of how not to breach the peace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
