Akinterinwa, Odimayo and Edema have called for a review and submitted their petition to the APC appeal committee.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that three governorship aspirants who participated in the primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have filed a petition before the primary appeal committee headed by the immediate past governor of Bauchi state, Muhammed Abdullahi Abubakar.

This Nigeria news platform understands that those who filed the appeal were Wale Akinterinwa, Olugbenga Edema, and Jimi Odimayo.

 

Akinterinwa’s grounds of appeal were that the primary election ran foul of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), the Constitution of the APC, and the guidelines of the APC as set out by the Committee for the Ondo State gubernatorial primary election by the national leadership of the party.

He said there was no distribution of election materials as promised by the committee and a lack of election in any of the 203 wards in Ondo state.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Akinterinwa claimed the Ododo-led committee failed to obey or abide by its guidelines set for the election and demanded the election be cancelled.

 

He urged the Appeal committee to do everything within its powers to ensure the party is saved from ‘this national embarrassment.’

Odimayo and Edema, in their various petitions, also called for the cancellation of the election.

 

The chairman of the Appeal committee expressed the readiness of the committee to receive whatever complaints as a fallout from the primary election.

 

He said the committee would be available till Tuesday to collect whatever complaints that may arise.

He said: “Let me use this opportunity to assure members of our party that this committee intends to be thorough and transparent in treating any complaint that we will receive.

 

“I can assure you that within a space of a few days, we will consider the total number of petitions we received and render a report to the national headquarters of our party before the party takes a final decision on the issue of the primary.

 

“As I’m speaking with you,  only three petitions have been received. I am calling on all the aspirants that have complaint(s) to please, feel free to forward them to us. Our consideration of a petition depends on the ability of the petitioner to prove his allegations.

 

“We will work with the facts and figures placed before me. We will not give room for any conjecture. We have since established our office at the headquarters of the party for the collection of this appeal if there are.”

 

 

Other members of the committee are Hon Patrick Obahiagbon, and Onyeka Okafor among others.
