A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and an aspirant in the just concluded Ondo Primary, Chief Olusola Oke, has rejected the result of the Primary.
Chief Oke condemned the emergence of Rotimi Akeredolu as the party’s candidate for the governorship poll, faulting the result of the primary.
Chief Rotimi Akeredolu, a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, won the primary held on Saturday in Akure, the state capital, defeating all the 23 other aspirants of the party.
However, Chief Oke condemned the result, alleging that some names of the delegates were removed from the delegates’ list while non-delegates were allowed to vote.
According to him, the delegates’ list was shown to the aspirants at the eleventh hour and there was no adequate time to scrutinise the list by most of the aspirants.
Oke made this known in a statement by his Director-General of his campaign, Mr. Bola Fisayo, on Sunday.
He said, “There was nothing we could do at that particular time. I can confirm to you that 80 per cent of those that cast their votes for Abraham came from Oke’s camp.
“The election did not represent the true position of the delegates, the accreditation gave room for manipulation and the whole process was laced with fraud and the result released did not represent the true reflection of the delegates as non-delegates were allowed to participate in the election”
