‘New’ APC swings into action, notifies INEC of Ondo guber primary
The caretaker committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has notified the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of its intention to hold a primary election to pick its governorship candidate for Ondo state.
In a letter dated June 25 and addressed to Mahmood Yakubu, INEC chairman, Mai Mala Buni, chairman of the caretaker/extra-ordinary convention committee; and John Udoedehe, secretary; said the party will hold its primary election on July 20.
“Please be informed that we have scheduled to hold our party’s primary election in respect of Ondo state on 20th July, 2020,” the letter read.
“Kindly arrange the monitoring of the exercise accordingly. Please accept the assurances of our highest esteem.”
In the heat of the party’s leadership crisis, the electoral commission had written the ruling party that its earlier communique informing it about its primary poll in Ondo was inappropriate because it was written by only Waziri Bulama, former APC national secretary.
Some of the governorship aspirants in Ondo on the platform of APC are Rotimi Akeredolu, governor of the state; Olusola Oke, Isaac Kekemeke and Olusola Iji.
Political parties are expected to submit names of their governorship candidates to INEC not later than July 28.
The governorship election is scheduled for October.
This is the first action of the caretaker committee that took over control of the party following national working committee (NWC).
