The Ondo State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) has said it never violated government directives on how to stem the spread of Coronavirus during its online interaction with its members recently.
A statement from it’s State Publicity Secretary, Mr. Alex Kalejaye described the allegation as an erroneous insinuation, and unproductive political gymnastic.
“Truth is, the chapter recently held a few online meetings, to interact as a family. We opted for online to promote compliance with measures spelt out by the State Government and the NCDC,” the statement informed.
The statement further said, as a responsible political party, that is sufficiently knowledgeable about the dangers inherent in playing games with the global pandemic, adding that the APC can neither indulge, nor encourage violation of the directives.
“We therefore implore politicians and political parties to upgrade their concerns for the wellbeing of the people, and suppress the natural instinct to criticize for political gains.
“We of the Ondo APC appreciate all residents of the state for joining hands with the government and its agents to tackle the dreaded menace, in the interest of all.
“We assure that the APC-led government in Ondo State will not relax its crave for palliative measures to confront food insecurity while the situation lasts,” the party concluded.
