gale of rejection of the governorship primaries of the All Progressives
Congress APC, in Ondo State, continued Thursday, as another contestant,
Senator Ajayi Boroffice rejected the result of the election.
Boroffice, who
represents Ondo
North senatorial
district has therefore
called for the
cancellation of the
election.
The lawmaker, who
came fourth with
471 votes spoke at
a reception rally
organized for him by
a member of the
House of
Representatives in
Akoko South West/South East, Babatunde Kolawole
Borrofice said he was informed that many hired people who were not
delegates voted in the party’s primary election.
He maintained that “if the appeal committee finds out that the allegations
that characterized the election were true, a total cancellation of the
exercise is the best.”
Expressing concern over unfolding reports on the alleged doctoring of the
delegates’ list, the aspirant said: “before the conclusion of the election, I
kept hearing the rumours that the delegates’ list has been infiltrated. That
there are even some people who were not accredited, who are not even
delegates but were given tags and induced to come and vote.That has
been substantiated now and it’s unfortunate.”
“I am in support of total cancellation of the election, we must do it again”,
he insisted.
Boroffice said despite the fraud in the election, he would not defect to
another party under any condition.
His words: “I am a loyal party man, I had the opportunity to leave the
party in 2012 but I didn’t. I was one of the three people that remained
then, among the aspirants. I am not in this party to be a governor. I am in
this progressive party to help build Nigeria.”
Continuing, he said: “If I don’t become governor, another person will be a
governor, as long as the process is free, fair and credible.”
Observer group faults primaries
Meanwhile, an accredited observer group on APC governorship primary
has adjudged it fraught with myriads of irregularities.
Leader of the group, Richards Adebayo alleged that the electoral process
had some noticeable shortcomings.
Adebayo said: “The poll officials detected that the accreditation of
delegates was hastily done without proper screening and many delegates
were given unstamped tags. Some of the delegates that came to the
voting centre were not accredited by the three major accreditation centres
because they were not duly screened in contravention of the rules and the
regulations of the electoral committee.”
Abraham sues for peace
As protest continues in Ikare over the loss of Dr Olusegun Abraham in the
governorship primaries, the aspirant, yesterday, called for calm on the part
of those against the National Assembly member, Mr Stephen Olemija
Abraham appealed to the protesters to be peaceful and assured them that
the party leadership is undoubtedly up to the task of handling the crisis.
Some of the protesters, who visited Abraham in his house, called for the
recall of Olemija for allegedly sabotaging Akoko’s effort and determination
to produce the next Governor of Ondo State in Dr. Abraham.
Olemija, who currently represents Akoko North East and Akoko North West
local government areas in the House of Representatives and Abraham are
from Ikare in Akoko North East.
Some leaders in the community including a former commissioner in the
state, Hon. Julius Akinnigbagbe described the development in the party as
worrisome.
“Honestly it beats my imagination that an Ikare son can work like that
against the interest of Ikare,” he lamented.
Also, a former Secretary to the state Government, SSG, Fisaye Bajowa
said: “What I have been hearing since the conclusion of the primaries
makes me very sad.” It is very bad for a party like APC which is a change
agent to be associated with election malpractices as we have been
hearing.”
Aspirant calls for unity
However, one of the aspirants, Tunji Light Ariyomo has called on aggrieved
aspirants to unite.
Ariyomo, in a statement in Akure said “If we continue to discredit the just
concluded primary election because of certain imperfections, somebody
will gain from such a political climate. Who is that person? Who will
benefit most from our infighting? The PDP and its current leadership in
Ondo State no doubt. My appeal to everyone therefore is to stop
promoting this atmosphere of feisty discord and instead start coalescing
behind the winner in order to confront and defeat the behemoth holding
our state to ransom in November 2016.”

Now check out the "Change" party filled with heavenly saints that are supposed to do things differently. APC can't even organize it own primaries.So how can they comfortably conduct the 2019 election? Nigeria may in for a long bumpy ride. #TeamAPC-Scam!
