| VICTOR OLABINTAN |
All
is not going well for the All Progressives Congress (APC) for now, over the
weekend it was not successful in the governorship elections that held in
Bayelsa state and now it has to contend with another governorship issue in Ondo
state.
Today,
one of APC’s gubernatorial aspirants for the Ondo state 2016 governorship
election, Victor Olabintan, who was also the former Speaker of the Ondo State
House of Assembly was allegedly kidnapped in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.
It
is reported that the Secretary of the Olabintan Campaign Organization, Gboyega
Ajayi, made this known while speaking on phone to journalists, he stated that Olabintan
was kidnapped by unknown men as he was traveling from Akure, the capital of
Ondo state to Abuja.
Ajayi
said the kidnappers posed as soldiers at a fake checkpoint at Kwali, a Local
Government Area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and stopped the vehicle
conveying Olabintan purportedly for a search only to turn around to abduct him.
Olabintan
was kidnapped barely 2 days after he made his declaration public by announcing his
intention to contest for the APC governorship primaries in Ondo state.
Olabintan had in the past contested in the primaries for the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) Ondo state Governorship candidate election.
The
statement from Ajayi confirmed that the FCT police command is on the search for
Olabintan’s kidnappers.
The APC seems to be passing through the same political track that existed before, what of the promised change?
