Ondo State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has denied allegations that the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Olisa Metuh is on the payroll of the state governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko.
The PDP Publicity Secretary in the state, Mr. Banji Okunomo during an interaction with journalists said the All Progressives Congress made these allegations in order to put the nation in reverse gear.
Okunomo said “This allegation is also absolutely criminal as it is intended to tarnish the credibility of both the state government and the personality of Olisa Metuh. It is also criminal as it is not only libellous but a false information which carries a jail term.
“We need to let the people know that the APC Publicity Secretary in Ondo State is a barefaced liar whose understanding of his role as the publicity secretary of that party is absolutely suspect. He needs further education to understand the fact that his position does not confer on him the right to propagate lies, but to build its profile, promote and sustain same.
“Rather than indulge in falsehood, the APC should be absolutely worried about the fact that it lied to Nigerians to believe that it would bring a radical development to the nation and all it has done so far is to fail to take off, thereby putting the nation in reverse gear.”
