ONDO: APC Reportedly Disqualifies Governor Akeredolu From Participating In The Party’s Primary Election
TRACKING____The All Progressives Congress (APC) screening committee has reportedly disqualified Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, from the party’s governorship primary election.
According to SaharaReporters, some bigwigs in the party led by Ekiti State governor, Kayode Fayemi, had intervened to save Governor Akeredolu from the embarrassment of not participating in the exercise.
The APC has fixed its governorship primary election for July 20, while the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) scheduled the governorship election for October 10, 2020.
There are fears already over the fate of the state governor in participating in the APC governorship primary election as the leadership of the party was yet to release the result of the screening committee.
SaharaReporters gathered that the party decided to hold on to the result of the screening since it didn’t favour Governor Akeredolu.
A source at the party’s headquarters in Abuja told said that the screening committee discovered how Akeredolu had been involved in anti-party activities, leading to the low votes recorded by President Muhammadu Buhari in Ondo during the 2019 election.
The source explained that the committee also had some weghty petitions against the governor, forcing them to put the result of the screening on hold.
