It has just been reliably gathered that the Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong, arrived Akure yesterday at Ondo state capital in a chartered flight with FLIGHT NUMBER:5N/IZY loaded with huge amount of money.
According to our source, the Governor, who is the Chairman of the APC campaign committee for Ondo State, landed in Akure at exactly 6:30pm with bags loaded with new notes of N1000 and N500 denominations, estimated to be about N5billion believed to be fund released from the Presidency to rig Saturday governorship election in Ondo State in favour of the APC and it’s candidate, Rotimi Akeredolu.
Another source who does not want his name mentioned, said the Governor’s aides and Airport security personnel almost clashed when Lalong’s aides insisted the bags must not be searched, but the security officials refused and insisted that the bags must be opened for security reasons.
“On a good day we don’t search bags and luggage of passengers on chartered flight, but because of the election holding in the state on Saturday we have to beef up security at the airport and ensure thorough screening of everything coming into the state at this critical time.” our source said.
The source said a call from a top official at the Presidency saved the day before the Governor’s aide were allowed to move their bags full of money into Akure town.
