Ondo State All Progressive Congress
(APC) Governorship Primary Election Committee Chairman, Kogi State Governor
Yahaya Bello, has insisted he has no power to postpone Monday's primaries.
They posited that “holding the
primaries on Monday is an injustice of the highest order.”
Governor Bello pointedly told them in
a Sunday meeting with the aspirants that this was not possible. Ten out of the
12 aspirants to governorship attended the meeting in Ijapo, Akure and the
capital of the state.
The six aspirants wanted the election
to be postponed because the list of delegates who will take part in the
primaries had not been given.
Isaac Kekemeke, Sola Iji, Olayide
Adelami, Bukola Adetola, Olusola Oke and Jumoke Anifowose are among the
aspirants that called for the postponement.
In response Bello said: "I have
no power to postpone the (today) primaries of Monday. We'll carry on with the
exercise.
"There is no perfect choice
anywhere, even in advanced countries like the U.S. "
