ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS YOUTH ALLEGES GOVERNOR AJIMOBI OF IMPOSITION OF CANDIDATES
“We as loyal party members are not only worried, but aggrieved by the actions of the Governor as this disregard for the party constitution and resolution reached with aspirants on the 9th of September has caused a lot of disaffection within the rank and file of party members which does not augur well for the fortunes of the party in the upcoming elections in 2019′
Penpushing further reports that the youth noted that party members in Ibadan North Local Government are in disarray and confused because the Governor decided to impose his Chief Detail (Saheed Aderonmu Adeshina) who joined the party about three months ago arguing that he is unknown to a majority of party members prior to his declaration for House of Representatives.
“Saheed Aderonmu Adeshina is from Oyo town and not Ibadan. The Governor also directed other Federal aspirants to step down their ambitions and offered them the 2 House of Assembly tickets in Ibadan North Local Government”
They stressed further that the unilateral action has, therefore, denied the 13 House of Assembly aspirants who purchased forms and campaigned vigorously in the expectations that there will be Indirect Primaries as adopted in Oyo State for electing candidates for the upcoming elections in 2019.
“We are writing this petition to formally put on record that there were primaries elections in Ibadan North Local Government for both Federal House of Representatives and State House of Assembly, against this background, we want to appeal to the National Working Committee and the National Chairman of the party to please redress this great anomaly and injustice.”
The petitioners include; Adewunmi Adepoju (Ward 12); Aliu Segun (Ward 11); Rauf Nurudeen (Ward 3); Iyiola Taiwo (Ward 3); Baba Ibadan (Ward 6); Abdullahi Ayodeji; Esther Adedokun (Ward 6); Abubakar Ibrahim (Ward 5); Oyedokun Abel (Ward 3): Usman Ishola (Ward 5); Taiwo Akeem (Ward 12); Ibrahim Murphy (Ward 12); Lamidi Kazeem (Ward 12); Amina Oke (Ward 11) and their Secretary, Usman Ishola.
