The Chairman of Ondo State All Progressives Congress (APC)
Governorship Primary Election Committee, Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State,
has insisted he has no power to postpone Monday’s primaries.
This follows a request from six aspirants for the primaries
to be moved.
Governor Bello, at a meeting with the aspirants on Sunday,
pointedly told them that it was not possible.
Ten out the 12 governorship aspirants attended the meeting
held in Ijapo, Akure, the State capital.
The six aspirants wanted the election postponed because they
had not been given the list of delegates that will participate in the
primaries.
They posited that “holding the primaries on Monday is an
injustice of the highest order.”
The aspirants who called for the postponement include Isaac
Kekemeke, Sola Iji, Olayide Adelami, Bukola Adetola, Olusola Oke and Jumoke
Anifowose.
In response, Bello said: “I don’t have the power to postpone
Monday’s (today) primaries. We will go ahead with the exercise.
“There is no perfect election anywhere, even in advanced
countries like the United States of America.”
