Ogun : governorship primaries Gbade Ogunwale , Abuja The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP ) has cancelled the just concluded governorship primary election in Ogun State. A statement on Monday by the party ’ s National Publicity Secretary , Chief Olisa Meuh said the PDP did not authorise any governorship primary in the state. “Consequently , any such exercise held in Ogun state is hereby declared null and void and of no effect . A new date will be communicated for the primaries ”, the statement added Kaduna : Yero favoured as delegates vote Kaduna Abdulgafar Alabelewe, Kaduna The Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP ) governorship primary is on in Kaduna State, with the incumbent Governor Mukhtar Ramalan Yero and Vice President Namadi Sambo waiting to vote . The contest is between the incumbent Governor Mukhtar Ramalan Yero and Senator Zego Aziz . Three other aspirants , Lawal Samaila Yakawada, Air Commodore Ajeye, Jimmy Dung and Felix Hassan Hyat withdrew before the commencement of the primaries . Meanwhile the election process in peaceful and orderly . The incumbent Governor Mukhtar Ramalan Yero is the likely winner as some delegates vote and chant ‘sai Yero’ . CROSS RIVER : GODDY JEDY AGBA WITHDRAWS The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP ) governorship contest in Cross River State, took a turn for the worse on Monday , when a leading contender , Prince Goddy Jedy Agba opted out of the primary election. The aspirant in a statement issued in Calabar by his media consultant, Phrank Shaibu said that his withdrawal was hinged on the grounds that the delegates’ congress list was fraught with irregularities . “The party has confirmed our initial suspicion and fears that they were desperately committed to excluding Prince Goddy Jedy Agba from all democratic processes leading up the fulfillment of his gubernatorial ambition . ” “From the initial proclamation that he was not a member of the party to the cancellation of the November 1 st ad hoc delegate congress , his purported suspension from the party and now , the mutilation of the delegates list, it is doubtful that the playing field for the intended Cross River State PDP Governorship primaries would be sufficiently balanced , rather it is likely to lean in favour of the outgoing state Governor ’s purported choice of candidate. “Anyone , that understands Nigerian politics a little should know how important it is for an incumbent State Governor to see that his successor covers his tracks. However, this should not be a crucial role for the PDP ’s appointed panel in redefining how a democratic process of electing the next governor of a State in a civilized society should be . “Otherwise , if allowed, it will amount to deprivation and oppression of the electorate . In turn, this may bring about chaos and active or passive rebellion by many people. “Even when one does not feel a sense of worry for the PDP if it loses Cross River State to another Party in the governorship and general elections , it is time our political leaders learnt how to take decisions that would build our democracy than destroy it. Democracy is about more than holding elections. A real and true democracy should reflect the will of the people .” Shaibu stated. Niger : Senator Aliyu withdraws from guber race Jide Orintunsin , Minna Barely three hours to the Peoples Democratic Party’ s governorship primary in Niger State, a front line aspirant , Senator Nuhu Aliyu , has withdrawn from the race . He told journalists in Minna on Monday that his decision was borne out of lack of level playing ground for all the aspirants , accusing the state governor, Dr. Mu’ azu Babangida Aliyu and the party of imposing a candidate on the party . He said , “Despite repeated denials even when some elders led by former Governor A .A Kure met with him ( Gov . Aliyu ) , the governor is still going ahead to impose a candidate on us. It has never happened before. I have my fears for our party and our state . ” The retired deputy inspector general of police also faulted the inability of the party to give direction on who governs the state, saying it is not showing interest on the calibre and competence of who emerges as the party ’s standard bearer. Aliyu ’ s withdrawal now brings the number of aspirants to eight . He debunked claimed that he was forced to withdraw from the race , saying, “it is not true that I was boxed to submission . I used my judgment and withdrawn based on my conviction that the step taken was right .” Ogun: Tension as party sets to pick guber aspirant Ernest Nwokolo, Abeokuta Tension suffused at the Secretariat of the Peoples Democratic Party( PDP ) in Ogun State on Monday morning as the party prepares to pick a candidate that would face governor Ibikunle Amosun of the All Progressives Congress in the 2015 gubernatorial election in the state. Aside the regular armed policemen and operative of the Department of State Security Service ( DSS ) , about three dozens of fierce looking bouncers were stationed at the entrance of the party ’ s secretariat on IBB boulevard to ward off any trouble from political thugs and miscreants .

Kayode Amusan , Abiodun Akinlade , Prince Gboyega Isiaka and former Deputy Governor of the state , Alhaji Rafiu Ogunleye, are vying for ticket to contest the governorship election.
