The All Progressives Congress (APC) appeal committee
set up for the Ondo state governorship primary election
has cancelled the election that produced Rotimi
Akeredolu (SAN) as the governorship candidate.
The committee recommended that a rerun primary
should be held immediately to beat the deadline set by
the Independent National Electoral Committee (INEC).
According to a report by Nation newspaper, the
committee directed the party leadership to come up with
a properly harmonised list acceptable to all contenders
should be compiled, adding that the delegates’ list
should be released, not on the eve of the primary, but
much earlier to give sufficient time for the take-off of
elections and avoid being used in favour of any
aspirant.
It pointed out that although there was substantial
compliance with rules during the primary, “that
consideration may not be sufficient reason to ignore such
serious and weighty, identified irregularities”.
The panel suggested that the party’s national leadership
should revert to the earlier delegates’ list, distributed to
aspirants in Abuja shortly before the controversial
primary.
“In view of the change mantra of this administration, it is
pertinent that the party blazes the trail by refusing to
condone a less than perfect exercise. We, therefore,
formally submit our recommendations for the National
Working Committee (NWC) to use its discretionary powers
in line with the APC constitution and the Electoral Act to
arrive at a final decision,” the committee said.
The committee said it received six petitions with three
complaints coming from three aspirants; Chief Olusola
Oke, Dr. Olusegun Abraham and Prof. Ajayi Boroffice;
the Chairman of Ondo Central APC, Mr. Adegboyega
Adedipe, his Ondo East counterpart, Mr. Akintunde
Temitope, and Mrs. Toyin Ajinde, a delegate.
The appeal committee said “the late distribution, the
aspirant claimed, didn’t afford them sufficient time to lobby
delegates. The situation was further compounded by the
appearance of strange names of persons they couldn’t
easily locate.”
“Equally disturbing is the public perception of the primary.
there have been so many negative reports on this exercise
all over the print, electronic and social media…A party
founded on a platform of due process and which prides
itself with zero tolerance for corruption and fraud, cannot
be seen to condone illegality.”
Recall that major forces within the party have split the
party into three major factions ahead of the 2019
election.
