Leaders and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress in Kwara South Senatorial District have expressed dissatisfaction with the outcome of the party’s recent senatorial primary, calling for a review of the process.
The leaders and stakeholders, under the aegis of the Kwara South Development Stakeholders, made their position known in a statement issued on Wednesday and signed by Deji Lawal and Akomolafe Johnson.
The group, which said it comprises youths, elders, women groups, professionals, community leaders and political stakeholders from the seven local government areas of the district, said the primary did not reflect the wishes of party members at the grassroots.
According to the statement, the stakeholders were concerned about the conduct of the exercise and the emergence of Olalekan Sunday Adewoye as the candidate.
“It is shocking and unacceptable that despite the clear voice and overwhelming support of party members and grassroots delegates for credible change, certain powerful interests have chosen to subvert democracy by imposing a candidate whose public image has been severely questioned,” the statement said.
