Politics of Rejected Candidates: Osun APC Beware by Engineer Akinbola Fatiregun



It is gradually becoming a norm for the PDP to wait for APC to pick it candidates during elections before exploring the loopholes in the candidates or adopting a candidate that failed popularity test at the APC primary election. Politics just like the law does not protect the indolent, it protects the vigilant. Our party in Osun in the recent past have been very vigilant. Our haste to conduct primary elections or political directions have been a bane on our political and electoral victories. As we approach another election we must be weary of such antics of the opposition. We must be vigilant to avoid a repeat of the Osun west political debacle.
We should not forget in a hurry how APC lost that election under questionable circumstances. Distinguished Senator Mudasiru Hussien was disqualified by the screening committee due to some minor infractions. The NWC which is the final say in such matters quashed the disqualification. Ademola Adeleke smelling defeat because of his unpopularity in the rank and file of the APC decided to jumped ship to the PDP. I have always maintained that APC did not lose the Osun West bye election because the election was APC against APC. This is so because turncoat APC members and leaders conspired to suffocate party supremacy worked for the victory of our party man and brother that was not fully integrated into the PDP. Ademola got the PDP ticket on a platter of malice and sentiments less than 72 hours after resigning from our party. He went ahead to win at the polls due to the grand conspiracy of our leaders. I am still hopeful that Senator Ademola Adeleke will return to the progressive hold which his family belongs.
The cloud for the primary elections are gathering again. we must avoid the a repeat of the Osun West scenario. We should not be in a haste to conduct to our primary elections. It will not be an overkill if our party postpone its primary election until we get a clear indication from the people on the other side. I believe PDP wants us to conduct primary elections so they can explore some loopholes that election will present for them for use it against us. We must be vigilant and approach this election with great caution. I humbly, suggest to our leaders that we postpone our primary election until it is safe and PDP has brought out its indication. This will put us in a vantage defensive position
