An aspirant for the Osun West
senatorial seat, Ademola Adeleke, has blamed the alleged manipulation of the
process by leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, for his withdrawal
from the primaries held on Wednesday in Osogbo.

In his letter of withdrawal
addressed to the chairman of the APC and dated July 13, Mr. Adeleke, who is a
brother to the late senator, Isiaka Adeleke, said he was constrained to
withdraw due to the interference by “power brokers” within the party, which led
to the re-qualification of his rival, Mudashiru Hussein.
The aspirant also noted that he
was resigning his membership of the party for the same reasons.
He said the clearance of Mr.
Hussein, who was disqualified at two levels of the party’s screening process,
created a cloudy circumstance around the entire process.
“Equally important and
unacceptable is the fact that the party has chosen to conduct the primaries in
Osogbo instead of Iwo, the senatorial district headquarters, thereby exposing
the process to potential nullification,” Mr. Adeleke said.
“From the foregoing, actions
which contradict the party’s own rules and regulations as well as its aims and
objectives, my supporters and I are no longer confident of the integrity of
this election process.
“A manipulated process can only
lead to a manipulated outcome.
“In the same vein, I hereby
resign my membership of the All Progressives Congress.”
