The Minister of Interior, Mr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has described the story that he had anything to do with the local primary election controversies in Akoko, Ondo State, as an act of desperation by political Propagandists.
“The desperation of some political propagandists is becoming alarming. How can anyone manufacture such a baseless story and expect the public to believe it without a single verifiable proof, video, official statement, or confirmation from the palace or the Chief Imam?
The Minister wondered what exactly the business of the Honourable Minister of Interior was with local primary election controversies? He said attempting to drag him into fabricated constituency drama only exposes the political motives behind this false narrative.
“First, what exactly is the business of the Honourable Minister of Interior with local primary election controversies? Attempting to drag him into fabricated constituency drama only exposes the political motives behind this false narrative.
“Secondly, since when did respected traditional rulers and religious leaders become tools for anonymous political blackmail? The Olubaka of Oka-Akoko remains a revered father to all, not a politician to be quoted by faceless “palace sources” pushing divisive propaganda.
“If such an incident truly happened, where is the official palace statement? Where is the public confirmation from the mosque leadership? Why are the authors hiding behind unnamed sources?
“This is nothing but cheap propaganda by idle hands seeking attention and attempting to heat up the polity with emotional falsehoods. The people of Akoko are wiser than this. Politics should not be built on lies, manipulation, and the reckless misuse of traditional institutions.
“Enough of the propaganda.
