Bola Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has revealed what leaders of the party discussed with Ekiti governorship aspirants in Abuja.

Tinubu said the governorship aspirants demanded for direct primaries for the conduct of the rescheduled primaries, as provided for in Article 20 of the party’s constitution.

He said the aspirants noted that the “Direct Primaries” would enable every card-carrying member of the party vote for candidate of their choice.

This was contained in a statement signed by Tinubu, Chief Bisi Akande, Aremo Olusegun Osoba, Otunba Niyi Adebayo
and Chief Pius Akinyelure.

The statement reads, “Concerned by the developments within the Ekiti State Chapter of our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), with respect to the huge number of Governorship Aspirants and the botched primary election of Saturday, 5th May, 2018, the leadership of the party from the South West geo-political zone on Tuesday, 8th May, 2018 met in Abuja with the 33 Governorship Aspirants who participated in the primary election to review the circumstances that led to the disruption of the election.

“The leaders at the meeting held at the Lagos State Governor’s Lodge, Asokoro, Abuja were Chief Bisi Akande, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Aremo Olusegun Osoba, Otunba Niyi Adebayo and Chief Pius Akinyelure.

“Among other issues, the question of how to conduct a free, credible and transparent primary election was discussed at the meeting. All the Aspirants were agreeable to the intervention and admonition of the leaders that they maintain the peace throughout the process.

“The Aspirants encouraged the leaders to further discuss with the National Chairman of the party, His Excellency, Chief John Odigie Oyegun, on the way forward. Specifically, the leaders were mandated to discuss with the National Chairman of the party on the possibility of an option of Direct Primaries for the conduct of the rescheduled primaries, as provided for in Article 20 of our party’s constitution to enable every card-carrying member of the party vote for an aspirant of his or her choice.

“As opposed to the Delegates System, the Aspirants believe Direct Primary election is more transparent, less monetised and energises the democratic system through the participation and involvement of the generality of the party members.

“After a subsequent meeting of the leaders with the National Chairman of the party, with the Ekiti State Chairman of the party, Chief Jide Awe, and two representatives of the Aspirants, Engr. Segun Oni and Hon. Opeyemi Bamidele, in attendance, it was decided that given the extent of planning and logistics involved and the closeness of the deadline for the conduct of primaries by all political parties in Ekiti State as well as submission of names of candidates to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), it would be better to go by the decision of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party to conduct a fresh Indirect Primary Election in Ekiti State on Friday, 11th May, 2018, the leaders having been assured by both the National Chairman of the party as well as His Excellency, Governor Tanko Al-Makura that the rejuvenated Primary Election Committee would put new and extra measures in place to ensure a restoration of the integrity of the electoral process aimed at producing a credible Candidate with the highest number of votes.”

“In view of this, the entire leadership of the party from the South West geo-political region hereby calls on all the delegates in Ekiti State to ensure full and active participation at the primary election on Friday. We also encourage delegates to vote according to their conscience and ensure that the process is not monetised in the overall interest of our party, the growth of our democracy and consistent with our progressive tradition which our people are noted for. The Aspirants themselves are enjoined to shun all manners of sharp practices and avoid any resort to violence during the rescheduled primaries.”

No amount of damage control can be done again after shamefully staging a show of shame called primary. The failure of APC to conduct free and fair primary election in Ekiti is an obvious sign that the days of doom is looming for the party. How would you convince the electorate that you mean well if all you do is display this level of corruption.

APC its a big shame!

They are fighting for loser's ticket

Finally

Abeg help me celebrate oh, Ban is Finally Lifted.

I must advertise still. Money must be made here, been here more than 8 years now,

What will be my gain, abeg mod, no be insult oh.

Fayose will just be smiling right now.

Something's smelling

I laugh in greek

Another crisis looming!

If only APC had been wise enough to organize the party congresses as recommended by their own constitution a lot of this challenges would have fazed off, but they postponed the evil day and are now pinned to the wall by their own demonic shadows. Enjoy!

Tinubu is getting wiser by not backing a particular candidate, at least openly. Because the moment he does that there will be a gang up against that candidate. He is better off playing the role of a mediator and god father to all.
Oyegun and the NWC people caused all these failed APC conventions in many states. Instead of preparing for primaries, they were busy lobbying for an illegal one year extension for themselves. Had there been enough preparations all these embarrassing scenes would have been avoided in the first place.

Looking from another angle: I laughingly imagine the scenario painted by Fayose of APC not having a candidate in the election due to their internal crisis. Thus, they make Fayose prophesy their doom, and they help bring it to pass.

Mtcheeeeew. Yeye dey smell. Another 16-0 loading.

The shameful thing is some consider that shambolic arrangement brought about by Itimidatiin and threat a peaceful PDP election .
I am not in support of the Violence exhibited during APC election but look closely at PDP and think a little then maybe one would understand .

So technically Fayose raised up his deputy for the post and took all necessary means to ensure he gets majority of the Vote .
So technically Fayose is the smartest most brilliant and most wise in PDP ekiti’ e is so wise politically economically administrative wise and in all of this he can see the future of Ekiti and he knows Only Elena can take a PdP led ekiti state to the promise land .
3 people went for the ticket!!! Just 3 ?
This is Politics I’d scratch my Head and ask why Only 3 people in the whole of Ekiti thinks they are the only Only qualified if all had went well Olujimi won’t even be in the Race cos she openly claimed they were being threatened and intimidated .
None of the youths in PDP sought the ticket
None of the industrialist sought the ticket
But then they all wore Ankara sat down in an orderly manner and played the script .

Violence is not the key , APC did not do well but for people who believe this Script played out by PDP well it’s a movie called : Threat and Intimidation gets things done

FAYOSE LMAO DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH
TINUBU IS NO DIFFERENT THAN HIS GREAT GRAND PARENTS THAT WERE SLAVE TRADERS
WHAT DA HECK DID TINUBU DO?

APC its a big shame!

in the grand scheme of things, your opinion does not matter.

Wailers are never tired of making noise and shamelessly bragging.

And when the defeat comes they tuck their tails in between their legs and log of the net.

Ondo they made noise.
Edo they made noise.
Kogi they made noise.
Anambra they made noise.

Even if APC scatters their primaries PDP can never never retain ekiti.

Even the presidency will ensure that by hook or by crook.

Wailers would only wail.

It is noted.

Ok

Primary election is strange to them, the defunct ACN was notorious for not having any internal democracy, the power that be from Lagos would just hand-pick an anointed candidate and the rest are free to argue with their ancestors!
