Ondo 2024: Ododo Forged, Wrote Ondo APC Guber Primary Election Result – Akinterinwa
Daily Metro News NG
A governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Mr Wale Akinterinwa, has faulted the outcome of the just-concluded primary election in the state, saying it written and forged by Kogi state governor, Usman Ododo.
Daily Metro News NG had earlier reported that the Chairman of the APC Primary Election Committee and Governor of Kogi State, Usman Ododo, had declared the state Governor, Hon. Lucky Aiydatiwa as the winner of the election.
However, in a statement on Monday morning in Akure by Akinterinwa’s campaign organisation spokesperson, Segun Ajiboye, Akinterinwa accused Governor Ododo of writing the election result.
The former Ondo finance commissioner also stated that Aiyedatiwa’s declaration as the primary election winner did not reflect the true picture of the exercise.
He said the party did not conduct any primary election in all the 203 Wards of the state and described the APC’s primary election in the state as a show of shame. The statement reads: “Without any fear of contradiction, we state here that no election was held in any part of Ondo on Saturday to elect the candidate of the APC.
“It is on record with incontrovertible evidence that nothing in the resemblance of a primary election was held in all the 203 wards in Ondo.
“At best, what can be said to have happened was that the committee chairman, Gov. Ododo, arrived in the state at about 8am on Saturday to write the result of an election that was never conducted.
“Saturday’s election presented our dear party with a rare opportunity to endear itself to the people of the state. All that was needed was for us to organise an election that would be hailed by all, even the opposition,” he concluded.
