Ms Adenuga, who walked out of the venue of the election when voting got underway, complained that the arrangement for the primary election was not satisfactory.

A member of the House of Representatives, Femi Bamisile, on Friday, defeated his opponent in the All Progressives Congress contest for the ticket of Ekiti South Constituency 2.

His opponent, Bumi Adenuga, is a serving member of the Ekiti State House of Assembly representing Emure State Constituency.

She reportedly had the backing of the state governor, Kayode Fayemi, in her bid to unseat the ranking member of the House.

Mr Bamisile contested the last governorship primaries which produced Biodun Oyebanji, the current candidate of the APC for the June 18 governorship election in the state.

He had fallen out of favour with the state governor after the primaries, for which Ms Adenuga was prompted to replace him.

A total of 160 delegates filed out for the election at the Ode-Ekiti Civic Centre, for the primary election which lasted about three hours.

The Returning Officer, Kunle Ajayi, said all 160 delegates voted for Mr Bamisile, while Ms Adenuga recorded zero votes.

Ms Adenuga, who walked out of the venue of the election when voting got underway, complained that the arrangement for the primary election was not satisfactory.


She told PREMIUM TIMES that her agents were not allowed to stay on the podium where delegates were being guided in the process, but only her opponent’s were allowed.

“I don’t know why they refused to allow my agents. They said the delegates could not write and that they were helping them,” she complained.

“I don’t really know what to do at this stage because you know I am not a money bag.”

However, an observer explained that it was an agreement among the parties that agents to the aspirants would be required to go up there and assist those delegates who could not write but indicated they were voting for their aspirants.

He said since no delegate voted for her, there was no need for her agent to go up the podium.

Reacting after the results were declared, Mr Bamisile said the election was free and fair and the results were “overwhelming.”

“What the delegates did this afternoon was totally overwhelming and unfathomable,” he said.


“I was just sitting throughout the election praying that God should not put me to shame.

“Now I thank God and everyone for the support and I want to appreciate the person who contested against me, we are all victors in this contest, there are no losers.”

Mr Bamisile said he would now focus on ensuring that the party wins the forthcoming governorship election.

Apart from letterhead, what else do you have against Peter Obi?

onuman:
Even letter heading?
Tinubu urchins are not leaving Peter Obi to rest.
They are used to stealing state funds in bullion vans to produce expensive and fancy campaign objects.

Reference:
Look, you folks just leave the man alone.
The establishment doesn't want him, chronic racists who cannot see beyond their hamlets do not want him, corruption doesn't want him.
He has left and is still hounded.
Choose and follow your own.
We have seen where it has taken Nigeria this far and we fully understand why the country is 'fast progressing'.

PrinceOfLagos:
The northerners are politically smart and I respect them for that , they are unpredictable .

They don't talk too much like Tinubu, they keep there game plans close to their chest and reveal them at the very last minute ..

I respect buhari abeg
