The All Progressives Congress(APC) may adopt indirect mode of primaries for election of its governorship candidate in Ondo State.

A member of the National Executive Committee disclosed this to our reporter in Akure.

But a governorship aspirant and former Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General of the state, Hon Isaacs Kekemeke, told newsmen last week that majority of stakeholders in the party want the direct mode of primaries.

The APC NEC member said the decision to use the indirect primaries for Ondo State was reached at last week’s meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.

It was learnt the NWC choose the indirect mode for Ondo because there are no factions of the APC unlike Edo where there are two factions of the APC.

But Kekemeke said the reason direct mode of primaries was preferred in Ondo was because of the controversies surrounding the emergence of party officials at the last congresses in the state.

He said there has not been cohesive party leadership in the state that is inclusive.

According to him: “I know that direct primaries is the preferable option. It is the inevitable for victory and success of the party.”

APC is an evil party. So what’s good for Ondo APC is not good for Edo APC. Bunch of Sai Barbarians and Oshimonkeys.

Did you read the entire news or you only read the heading? It was the NWC headed by Comrade Adams Oshiomohle that approved the indirect primary for Ondo, just the same way it approved direct for Edo, because unlike Edo chapter of the party, the Ondo chapter is not polarized.

I woke up @5am to the most realistic dream ever.... I need to tell this story but I don't know how I can just leave everything and start a new life again.

I have just dreamed of the rapture according to the Bible.

For those shouting Indirect in Edo. The truth is the nwc could not have picked any other mode except direct. There are 2 factions in edo with court cases. Indirect means the nwc will recognize one. And if the court says otherwise the whole process is nullified. But with direct the candidate of the party is immune to the various faction Court cases. That was the mistake Apc made in Rivers and have avoided repeating.
If Obaseki is scared direct primary will be rigged he should not bother to contest the main election because even that is not immune to rigging.
Direct is the most democratic process. Not indirect where half of the delegates are staff of the governor such as commissioners and aides.
Let him match his words with action. Actually he doesn't have a choice.
