PETER DADA takes a look at the just concluded governorship primaries in Ondo State and posits the two major political parties and their candidates have the onerous challenge of uniting their respective members as well as leaders ahead of the October 10 poll
This is even more so in the ruling APC where two of the 12 aspirants have approached the Appeal Panel. One of the aspirants who approached the APC Appeal Panel to lodge a complaint, Dr Nathaniel Adetelegun, said his decision to challenge the conduct of the APC primary was in the interest of justice. He said, “The conditions were stringent and the governor may not be able to meet all of them and that will further complicate the ongoing reconciliation process, but we want to see how it will go.”
He explained that the decision was taken after “due and wise” consultation with the party leadership. His closest rival who is also the Ondo State deputy governor, Agboola Ajayi, has also dumped the party to pursue his dream on the platform of Zenith Labour Party. He made his decision public on Wednesday.
The spokesman for the Eyitayo Jegede Campaign Organisation, Mr Gbenga Akinmoyo, however, said his principal remained a party man to the core and that the issue of who becomes his running mate was being handled in conjunction with the party hierarchy. Obembe, who retired from the Federal Ministry of Works before venturing into political analysis, said, “My general view is that our politicians are very ambitious, mostly over-ambitious. We all know that it is only one position that is available-that is governorship.
Adeoti said, “For instance, the two major political parties in the state which everyone is expecting to be the winner of the election are engulfed in various crises but their reconciliation process would have an immense impact on how far they would go in the election. The SDP National Working Committee led by the National Vice Chairman , Mr Bade Falade, supervised the election that produced Fasua.
