Some All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship aspirants in Ondo State have passed a vote of no confidence on the primary election being superintended by Gov. Usman Ododo of Kogi State. The APC primary election in the 203 wards in the state is to elect the party’s flag bearer for the November 16 governorship election.
Addressing newsmen on Saturday in Akure as the election was ongoing, the aspirants said Ododo did not follow the due process laid down by the national leadership of the party. Mr Gbenga Edema, one of the aspirants, frowned at the delay in the release of electoral materials meant for the primary. According to Edema, as of 10:00 am, electoral materials had not been released contrary to the resolution made during a stakeholders’ meeting on Friday.
“We are saying that they should reschedule another election because this election did not even hold. “This is another form of failure. Ododo has not performed his responsibility concerning this election. This is an anti-democratic process,” he said. Also, Mr Rotimi Ogunleye, who represented Mr Olusola Oke, an aspirant, asked the committee to follow due process, adding that a lot had been spent to build the party.
