The Kwara South Development Advocates has cautioned traditional rulers in the region against endorsing any aspirant in the ongoing dispute over the All Progressives Congress’ House of Representatives primary for the Ekiti/Irepodun/Isin/Oke Ero Federal Constituency, insisting that the controversy remains subject to an appeal.
The group alleged that some individuals were mobilising traditional rulers to validate the claim that a particular aspirant won the primary election despite a pending appeal challenging the announced outcome.
In a statement issued by its Coordinator, Dada Jayeola, on Thursday, the group maintained that the announced result did not reflect the true outcome of the exercise, alleging that no primary election was conducted in Ekiti Local Government Area despite the circulation of a video purportedly showing election results from the area.
According to the group, any attempt to present the disputed outcome as final while an appeal is pending is premature and capable of misleading stakeholders.
