Amid accusations of bias and imposition of candidates levelled by some losers in the recently held All Progressives Congress National Assembly primaries in Ondo State, a pressure group within the party has cautioned aggrieved contestants to display maturity and explore party mechanisms for seeking redress.
The group, Ondo Progressives Family (OPF) gave the advice in the aftermath of the recently concluded House of Representatives and Senate primaries, which some defeated contestants faulted and also took to the social media to disparage.
Specifically, the group, in a statement issued in Akure on Tuesday by its state chairman, Prince Oluwole Irawo, and secretary, Mrs. Mabel Ogunleye, took exception to what it described as false accusations of imposition of candidates levelled against Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa and the state APC leadership.
“These accusations against the governor and the Kolawole Babatunde-led Ondo APC are wholly puerile, false and incoherent for the fact that up until the eve of the primary elections, these contestants had been praising the governor and the state’s APC leaders to high heavens for their neutrality, transparency, and high-level preparations for the poll; only for them to do a 360-degree turn into hostilities, once they failed to win the contest.
