May 16, (THEWILL) –Â Alhaja Faidat Akintunde, the chairperson for the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Abeokuta North has been accused of allegedly abusing the powers vested on her in the state. The chairperson, who was installed in October, 2021, after taking over from Alhaji Akeem Shobayo, was effective for a few months after taking over the mantle of leadership until she allegedly became biased and allegedly started making moves for her anointed candidates to occupy some political post in the forth-coming general election taking place in 2023.
Akintunde is allegedly rooting for one Babatunde Tella from Oke-Ogun for a position in the National Assembly and Hon Olumide Osoba for a seat in the House of Representatives in the forth-coming election. The act has been described as an abuse of office and misuse of power.
As the chairperson of the party, many believe Akintunde should be neutral and support anybody that indicates interest in running for any political postion in the state. However, she has been visiting other leaders in the party to solicit support for her anointed candidates. She has allegedly started threatening local and ward executives so that they can all favour her candidate during the election. The party which was united before has allegedly started falling apart under her watch as a result of her attitude.
