A group known as Ondo APC Stakeholders has kicked against the inclusion of one Mr. Niyi Akinsiju in the Electoral Committee for the April 20th primary election of APC in Ondo State.
In a press statement made available to our correspondent, the Chairman of the group, Chief Bamidele Alomaja, quoted the APC guidleine which prohibits the inclusion of indigene in the primary election committee of APC.
“We are surprised that despite the position of APC and its guidelines that prohibit inclusion of indigene in the primary election of APC, Mr. Niyi Akinsiju is included as a member of the Ondo primary election committee. This is a clear departure from the election guideline.”
“Mr. Niyi Akinsiju is an indigene of Idanre local government area of Ondo state. By the reason of his indigeneship and as defined in our party guideline, he is not supposed to be included in the election committee. We presumed this to be a deliberate effort to rig or invalidate the outcome of the election”, he said.
The group has called on the leaders of APC to correct the rape on the election guideline, to avoid creating unnecessary encumberances.
