APC Aspirant Demands Fresh Ondo Reps Primary, Says There Was No Election
Fidelis David in Akure
There seems to be no end in sight to the controversy trailing the All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives primaries in Ondo State as an aspirant for Ilaje/Ese Odo Federal Constituency, Monday Akinyomi, declared that what took place on May 16 could not be described as an election, insisting that the exercise should be cancelled and conducted afresh.
Addressing journalists in Akure yesterday, Akinyomi said his greatest concern was not personal ambition but what he described as a dangerous precedent capable of undermining democratic values within the ruling party ahead of the general elections.
“What I witnessed that day was nothing to write home about. To put it straight, there were no elections. If someone tells you we had an election on that day, maybe that person is living on another planet,” he said.
