APC says governorship primary election in Ekiti not postponed amid calls for cancellation
The Ekiti state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says the governorship primary election in the state has not been postponed.
The state primary election is slated for today.
Earlier in the day, Opeyemi Bamidele, senator representing Ekiti central, asked the APC to cancel the primary election, alleging irregularities, high-handedness, intimidation, and state-induced violence characterising the exercise.
Bamidele alleged that those on the election committee are aides of Kayode Fayemi, the governor, who are working to ensure that Biodun Oyebanji, a governorship aspirant, gets the party’s ticket.
Oyebanji is believed to be backed by Fayemi and Niyi Adebayo, minister of trade.
In a statement, Victor Olabimtan, secretary of the primary election committee, said the exercise will take place as scheduled in all the 177 wards of the state.
The committee assured the public of a level-playing field for all aspirants.
