Less than two weeks to the Ondo governorship election, a school proprietor, a former Labour Party local council vice chairman who is a prominent member of the LP in Ondo kingdom was on Saturday afternoon caught with ballot papers and other election materials in Ondo West Local Government.

Eagle eye members of the public tipped off the police and facilitated the arrest while the police shortly afterwards moved the suspect to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Akure.

Opposition parties, both th PDP and ACN have repeatedly called the attention of the police and the Independent National Electoral Commission to clandestine moves by the Mimiko led Labour Party to rig the forthcoming October election. Until this latest arrest, their allegations could not be substantiated.

The Labour Party has reacted by disowning the man.

According to Olabisi Kolawole, a journalist turned politician, he said the man that the public tipped the police off about that was arrested in Ondo town is not a genuine member of the Labour Party

His very words “He is a fake man out on a sinister mission”

Meanwhile, a week ago some members of the Labour Party were caught in Ondo town mopping up voting cards from members of the position by luring them with cash. Some gullible ACN members sold their voter’s cards to the hoodlums.
