Biodun Olujimi, senator representing Ekiti south, has pulled
out of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary election in Ekiti state.
Olujimi, who was one of the top contenders in the race, said
she was disenfranchised by the party.
She said: “I came to drop my letter that I was pulling out
of the process.
“What happened was that 14 local governments — four of them
from my senatorial district — were given to a group of the party and the
remaining two, where congresses should have held, nothing held.
“So today, the party
asked me to use automatic delegates; 12 from my local government and 10 from
Gbonyin local government, making 22 out of the 156 that I should have — and I
feel disenfranchised.
“I feel like the party does not believe in my presence
there. I believe the party does not believe in whatever I have done, so I have
pulled out.”
When asked about her next course of action after pulling
out, she said: “I will sit back and have a reflection and take a decision.”
Olujimi said she is not supporting any other aspirant,
noting that it was never on the cards for her.
“The party does not believe in me, maybe it is my gender,
that is possible,” she added.
“I need a little bit of introspection and then I will make a
decision.”
Olujimi was in the race alongside Segun Oni, Kolapo Olusola
Ereka, Bisi Kolawole, among others.
