5. Dayo D1 Adeneye Contrary to the report that the All Progressives Congress’ Dayo D1 Adeneye lost the primary election, sources claim an unpopular candidate was imposed during a nocturnal meeting on the eve of the primary which allegedly never took place as aspirants were allocated by party chieftains. Angered by the development, aggrieved APC supporters have vowed to vote against the party if the trend of imposition of unpopular figures persists. They wondered why Dayo Adeneye, the one who arguably brought back the fame of APC to Odogbolu when he declared his intentions some two months ago, was treated in an unfair manner.

Whether APC or PDP, imposition of candidates will always be there cos u can't expect the state party chairman 's son going for a post and you saying you wanna throw it to the air via primaries, our politicians don't have such big heart. I only pity those that fall victim of imposition ,I say "Welcome to the world of Nigerian politics". congratz to Desmond, I wish u all the best |
