Sen. Ajayi Boroffice representing Ondo North Senatorial District, says the division in the state’s structure of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led to its defeat by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the February 23 election.

Boroffice, a member of the APC, stated this in Akure on Monday while speaking with newsmen on the outcome of the presidential and National Assembly elections in the area.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led the election over the ruling APC in National Assembly elections according to the results released by INEC in the state.

PDP won 11 out of the 18 local governments in the state

Ajayi said: ”APC lost Saturday election in Ondo State to PDP because APC has dysfunctional party structure in the state which is not effective.

“Then, we have a bipolar party which is one side AA and another is authentic APC.

“It is like the house divided against itself and that really affected the party in the election.

“I have mixed feelings in sense that we lost to PDP and it is unfortunate.

“However, the good side is that, I won the election and three members of House of Representatives in my district and our presidential candidate also won.
