Kwara PDP Primary: Aggrieved PDP members protest Ajibola's win
Scores of people believed to be members of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kwara State, on Saturday protested over the emergence of the Senator representing Kwara South, Mr. Simeon Ajibola, as the Kwara State PDP governorship candidate.
The protesters who matched around some streets near the PDP Secretariat at Asa Dam, Ilorin could not, however, gain entrance to the secretariat and therefore laid siege at the gate of the secretariat to express their disapproval of Ajibola’s emergence.
They said PDP cannot win in Kwara State with Ajibola who emerged winner with 144 votes at the rescheduled PDP governorship primary on Thursday.
They sang war songs and carried placards with different inscription denouncing Ajibola as a candidate that would bring victory for the party.
They appealed to the leaders of the party both at the State and national levels to choose another person that can win Kwara for the PDP.
One of the protesters who identified himself simply as Wasiu, said Kwara PDP would not accept Ajibola as their candidate.
He alleged that there were irregularities during the primary, saying such allegedly made Ajibola to emerge the winner.
Meanwhile, the Minister of National Planning, Dr. Abubakar Olanrewaju, has pleaded with the aggrieved members of the party and the residents who felt disappointed over Ajibola’s PDP candidacy, to be calm and resist taking laws into their hands.
