As the senatorial primary election of the All Progressives Congress has been concluded in Ondo State, an aspirant of the party in Ondo North Senatorial District, Mr Alex Ajipe, has kicked against the outcome of the exercise.
In the results of the Ondo North, released by the Chairman of the National Assembly Primary Election Committee, Iboroma Harry Dabib on Tuesday night, a former member of the House of Representatives, Mr Gbenga Elegbeleye, won the poll with 28,062 votes while the incumbent senator, Olajide Ipinsagba, scored 9,819 votes. Ajipe Alex secured 17,313 votes, Adeogun Adejoro polled 3,845 votes, Tunji Muhammed secured 1,076 votes, while Michael Adeyanju recorded 640 votes..
Speaking with our correspondent in Emu Ile, Owo Local Government Area of the state, on Wednesday, Ajipe, who is the convener of Ajipe Democratic Movement, alleged that the election in four out of six local governments of the district was not held in line with the party’s directive.
He described the outcome of the process of the exercise as an assault on democracy, saying the electoral officers disappeared while the results were being collected.
