– Warns that the cancelling the Ondo state governorship primary will not be in the best interest of the party in the state
Amidst the controversies that have trailed the September 3 primary elections of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo state, the leadership of the party has been warned against cancellation of the primary.
Following the primary which produced Rotimi Akeredolu as flag bearer for the November 26 governorship election, there have been calls by some party members for the election to be cancelled.
But publicity secretary of the party in Ondo state, Omo’Oba Abayomi Adesanya, told the Guardian yesterday, September 15, that if the primary were nullified, the party would lose the election.
Adesanya said cancelling the Ondo state governorship primary will not be in the best interest of the party in the state.
He said: “I want those who are clamouring for its cancelation to know that such step will lead to disunity, acrimony and unending crisis that will keep the party from winning the November 26 governorship election.”
Recall that Akeredolu, former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) emerged the candidate after defeating 23 aspirants. Some aspirants, who had earlier congratulated him, however, recanted and petitioned the party’s appeal committee, alleging irregularities on the delegates’ list.
