11 Kwara PDP aspirants vow to resist imposition

Date: 2014-12-09

Eleven aggrieved governorship aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State on Tuesday protested alleged move to impose a candidate on them, saying this was responsible for the botched primary on Monday.

The primary was stopped on Friday night following fracas which broke out at the venue of the election with aspirants alleging that illegal delegates were smuggled into the venue.

The forum of governorship aspirants however addressed a press conference attributing the botched primary to plan to rig by some chieftains of the party.

Chairman of the forum, Senator Simeon Ajibola who read the text of the press conference explained that in spite of the presence of security agents, attempt was made to rig the primary in favour of a certain candidate.

All the governorship aspirants except Mr. Dele Belgore, SAN, were present at the press conference. They jointly signed the briefing.

Ajibola said the number of delegates which was supposed to be 709 rose to 1, 500, disclosing that over 700 fake delegates were smuggled to the venue with fake tag.

He stated that it was the fake delegates that started the commotion which led to the abrupt end of the exercise.

The Chairman however declared that there was no election held on Monday and called on the national leadership of the party to order fresh election within 24 hours.

"We will resist and collectively fight any attempt to impose candidate without free and fair election", he said.
