Kekemeke Kicks As Gov Akeredolu Wins Ondo APC Primary Election

Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu on Monday won the gubernatorial primary of All Progressives Congress(APC) in Ondo State ahead of the October 10, 2020 governorship election in the state.

Delegates from all the 18 local government areas of the state participated in the indirect primary which held at the Dome, Akure, the state capital.

The voting which started around 2:00 pm with Akoko North-East local government area came to an end around 8:15pm at the Dome, the venue of the election.

Before the commencement of the primary, it was noted that Ife Oyedele, Odimayo, Segun Abraham, had stepped down and or withdrawn from the election.

Some of them were said to have reached agreement with Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu and they thereby directed their delegates to vote for the governor.

Meanwhile, one of the prominent participating aspirants, Mr Isaacs Kekemeke, in his reaction to the arrangement of Governor Yahaya Bello-led APC Primary Committee expressed dissatisfaction with the process which he said was distorted with a view to producing a predetermined outcome.

He alleged that the Yahaya Bello-led Committee was unfair to other aspirants.

“For me, this process is unfair. It is aimed at producing a predetermined result.

“I have lost confidence in the process. It is not about who wins or loses, all I am saying is that those who lose must lose fairly and those who win must win fairly.

“A party must not subvert. It’s a process and it must not treat its members as if they needed the party to survive much more than the party needs members to survive.

“The party must learn to be fair. A level playing field has not been provided. It doesn’t matter even if I win. This is not the fair thing to do.

“You do not conduct an election where you have collected money from the people and have screened them, but you failed to let them know how and where the election is taking place.
