Olumide Akpata Denies Enemies’ Claims On Motor Vehicles Donated To Labour Party

Labour Party governorship aspirant in Edo State, Olumide Akpata has cleared the air over recent motor vehicles and other logistics donated to the party.

GWG.ng reports that the donation of 20 brand new vehicles and other logistics including buildings to Labour Party in Edo State had generated controversy with some claiming that the former national president of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA would retrieve the donations should he lose the party ticket.

Rebuffing the claims, through Toju David, director-general of the Olumide Akpata Campaign Organisation affirmed that the titles to the brand new vehicles had been transferred to Labour Party and as such are no longer owned by the aspirant.

He disclosed that Olumide Akpata took the decision to donate the motor vehicles to Labour Party upon the constraints he said were observed.

He added that the donations were only part of the support the aspirant has been giving to the Labour Party in the past.

“We state for the records that this spurious claim is entirely false and disconnected from reality. We counsel the originators of this irresponsible and unintelligent rumour to, at the very least, always endeavour to undertake the most basic inquiry before embarking on any voyage of conspiracy,” the Olumide Akpata campaign manager said in his rebuttal of the claims concerning the motor vehicles.

“These rabble-rousers need not dig too deep, to establish that Olumide Akpata has, in fact, transferred title to all twenty-one vehicles purchased and donated to the Labour Party in Edo State. All twenty-one vehicles now legally belong to Labour Party, Edo State, and not Olumide Akpata.

“Therefore, the ludicrous suggestion that Olumide Akpata will take back any of the donated vehicles if he fails to win the Party’s nomination as its gubernatorial candidate amounts to nothing other than cheap and idle blackmail.

“Indeed, it is infantile and malicious to draw any conclusions regarding ownership of the vehicles by merely relying on documents procured at the point of purchase and indeed registration of the said vehicles. We urge any party member interested in determining the true ownership of the aforementioned vehicles to simply verify the same from the State Secretariat.”
