Guber Primary: Ondo APC dismisses claims of no election
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State has dismissed the report that primary election did not hold in the State. The party described the report as shocking and lacks credibility.
For the records, election took place in all the 18 local government areas in the State. There were agitations in Ifedore and Ilaje Local Government areas. While the results in the entire Ifedore Local Government were cancelled, that of Ilaje affected about four Wards, that were also cancelled.
The essence of such cancellations was to emphasis the validity of the entire process, and lend credence to fairness.
The voting strength of our members in the affected areas were no substantial enough to dent the credibility of the process, nor affect the margin with which the candidate emerged.
The party therefore doubts the authenticity of the report, credited to an agent of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The State chapter cautions against needless desperation on the part of some members, who have vowed “to do everything possible to discredit the process”.
The party urged its teeming supporters to discountenance the spurious report and focus on the bigger task ahead: to win the governorship election and retain the Sunshine State for APC.
