ABIODUN NEJO writes that the dusts raised by the Ekiti State governorship primaries of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party and the ruling All Progressives Congress which held on Wednesday and Thursday respectively have yet to settle
The move, among others, was with a view to reconcile the two divisions as part of efforts to ensure PDP’s return to the Oke Ayoba Government House, Ado Ekiti through winning the June 18 governorship election. But this did not happen as the aspirants went to the primaries on Wednesday still canvassing for votes from the delegates individually. The first indication that all was not well with the primary as far as the majority of the aspirants were concerned showed when some delegates, despite the heavy presence of security men deployed for the exercise, faulted the list being used by the Electoral Committee, chaired by Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel.
The aggrieved senator, who alleged that delegates for four of the six local governments in her senatorial district had been given to Fayose’s group, added that only 12 delegates could vote in her local government, Ekiti East, while only 10 could vote in Gbonyin LGA, making a total of 22 where no fewer than 155 ought to have voted.
