Why direct primaries cannot hold in Ondo – Iji
Nigeria’s Ambassador to Togo, Olusola Iji, has threatened to drag the All Progressives Congress to court if it adopts the indirect primary mode to elect its governorship candidate in Ondo State without fully adhering to the party’s constitution.
Iji noted that party executives were converted to delegates in the past against the APC Constitution, which provided that five delegates per ward should be elected alongside statutory delegates to vote at the indirect primary. Iji, who denied allegations that he planned stepping down for Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, insisted it was unfair for the Governor to seek the party’s ticket for the third consecutive time.
According to him: “I will not step down for Akeredolu. For him to express interest that he wants to contest having secured the party’s ticket twice and want to get it again means it is inequitable.
