The Action Congress (AC) has advised the INEC Chairman, Professor Attahiru Jega, to redeploy Mrs Ayoka Adebayo from Ondo State as the Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, to allay fears that her posting was a collusion between the commission and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The  party,  in  a statement issued in Lagos on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said while it believed that Professor  Jega, did the posting without malice, as he had explained, the posting seemed to reinforce the public boast by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, a chieftain of the PDP, that his party would re-claim Ondo State from the Labour Party in the next general election.

AC said going by the long-standing relationship between Obasanjo and Mrs Adebayo, the arrogant assurance by the ex-president that his party would  win Ondo and the posting of his acquaintance (Mrs Adebayo) to the state was too much a coincidence to be overlooked.

''If indeed this is a coincidence, it is a dangerous coincidence and all efforts must be done to ensure it does not taint the outcome of next year's polls in Ondo state. Professor Jega must realise that perception is at times more important than reality,'' AC said.
