Anambra APC Primary: Aspirants Reject Gov. Dapo Abiodun committee result



Aspirants of the APC in Anambra state has rejected the direct primary election results, that was announced over the weekend by Dapo Abiodun, the govenor oh Ogun state.


 Also, local government party chairmen of APC in the  state have described as disappointing the announcement of results of the June 26 primary of the All Progressive Congress in the state, when no election was held, they said.


Speaking on behalf of other aspirannts after a crucial meeting yesterday at Awka the state capital, Chief George Moghalu, said the party did not hold any primary election as scheduled. 


"There was no APC primary election in Anambra. The opportunity was not provided for the party to choose its flag bearer for the November 6th governorship election in the state.


"APC primary election was slated for June 26th in Anambra, and aspirants went out of their way to mobilize supporters at the ward levels; but unfortunately, the elections did not hold. The election did not hold; but the committee led by a sitting governor, Dapo Abiodun, went ahead to announce a fake result that was written in the bedroom, and they want us to accept it.


"What we're doing is to reaffirm our stand in rejecting the process. What they're doing is to endanger our party in Anambra; they fail to understand that whatever they do at this level has a way of backfiring at the main election," he said.


Moghalu, however urged the party to conduct free and fair primary for the purpose of electing a credible candidate; adding that if after their protest, nothing happened, they would be tempted to take action to right the wrongs.


Speaking on behalf of the 21 Local Government chairmen of the party, chairman of Nnewi North LGA, Tony Atuenyi, expressed sadness over the development; saying that party faithful trooped out in their numbers to choose their guber candidate; but they were disappointed and  went home without exercising their franchise.  


"I personally monitored all the wards in Nnewi North, Nnewi South and Ekwusigo Local Government Areas, but members of the Dayo Abiodun committee were not found anywhere. Therefore, declaration of result by the Abiodun-led committee, for an election that did not hold, to us, is disappointing, fraudulent and shameful," he concluded
