The senator representing Ondo North District, Jide Ipinsagba, has rejected the nominees for the interim management committee members for Akoko North East local government area of the state.
Senator Ipinsagba, in a statement, said the list was contrary to the agreed nominations by stakeholders from the locality.
Ipinsagba noted that Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu approved a list jointly prepared by leaders of the local government, saying that it was replaced by individuals outside the local government.
He cautioned party leadership at the state level to avoid creating unnecessary crises in the state.

The statement read: “What audacity! This is not only an affront to us as leaders but an insult and disrespect to the persons and offices of Mr. Governor and my humble self as a distinguished senator of the federal republic.
“Let me reiterate this that decision and announcement stands rejected by me as the leader of my local government. We will not accept any names aside from the ones already submitted to Mr. Governor.
“The list was compromised to favour the interests of a high-ranking federal government official who is not from the local government area.”
