UNAVAILABILITY OF DELEGATES LISTS; A THREAT TO THE OUTCOME OF THE PRIMARY ELECTION IN OWO AND OSE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS
As at few hours to the primary election scheduled to commence tomorrow, the delegate lists and venues of the election sadly remained hidden to many of the aspirants.
Impeccably, only aspirants in the circle of the governor of Ondo State are the ones privy to the lists and the venues.
.
Against the tenets of democratic norms, these elements have brought to the fore their desperation to take undemocratic routes towards achieving ‘victories’ in the primary election.
For the umpteenth time, members of our great party, the All Progressive Congress are being alerted that the outcome of the primary election is being made to favour aspirants anointed by the governor. This is to the surprise of many of the aspirants and it runs foul of the earlier position of His Excellency, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu SAN of providing level playing ground to all the aspirants at the Primary election to ensure unity which will enhance chances of victory for the Party at the general election
As at the time of filing this report, the supposedly delegates are being camped with inputs from Mr Governor and his cronies at venues being provided by the some appointees of Mr Governor.
Is this democracy that can take the party to the next level? The answer is no. The party,if care is not taken has provided platforms to disenfranchise the delegates who are perceived not to be in the good books of the governor and his cronies.
We therefore call on the national leadership of the party to call these desperados to order. Failure will engender strive and eventually make the party loose in the general election.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
