DUE PROCESS WILL PREVAIL AND MY MANDATE, THE MANDATE OF THE GOOD PEOPLE OF ONDO, WILL BE RECLAIMED! SAYS OLUSEGUN ABRAHAM

Olusegun Abraham

Dear members, delegates, leaders of our great party, the All Progresssives Congress (APC), and the members of the public in Ondo state, I greet you all.

The past few days have been quite eventful in the annals of our party in Ondo state, the eyes of the entire nation was on us, waiting to see how we were going to emerge from the unfortunate irregularities that befell the September 3rd gubernatorial primary election of our party.

After painstaking deliberation and consideration of evidence-backed petitions by our party's Electoral Appeal Committee and the National Working Committee (NWC), it was recommended that the September 3rd Primary election be annulled, and thankfully, this recommendation was ratified and upheld by a majority of our NWC, yesterday.

And just like most of you, I was disappointed at the inexplicably unexpected and unjustifiable move by our party's National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, to have disregarded this informed stance of the NWC that favored annulment of that fraud-ridden primary, moving ahead to submit a name to the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Saraki's Trial - We Don't Care If We Lose the Senate Presidency - APC

Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in an interview spoke about Senate President Bukola Saraki's trial.


See excerpt below:

A major issue currently is the trial of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki. A section says political solution should be deployed. Do you want to talk about this bearing in mind that the PDP is planning to take the position if Saraki is removed?

We don’t take anything for granted. As they are planning, we are also planning. The situation is under control. The whole situation is unfortunate but it is real. What political situation in a legal matter? Are the judges politicians? 

Audu’s Replacement: APC Submits Yahaya Bello's Name To INEC

Yahaya Bello

The leading All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Kogi State Governorship Election has submitted the name of Yahaya Bello to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the party’s new candidate for Prince Abubakar Audu's replacement for the supplementary poll.

Yahaya Bello replaces Prince Abubakar Audu, who died last weekend after leading the poll with 41,000. Also APC has retained Hon. James Abiodun Faleke as the party’s deputy governorship candidate.

Mohammed Audu, the son of the late governorship candidate, was dumped by the party because the party felt that fielding him might vitiate the entire governorship poll in the state.
