BREAKING: APC releases names of Edo Governorship aspirants

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced six governorship aspirants to be screened for the party’s primary election to elect its governorship candidate in Edo State.

APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu disclosed this in a statement on Friday ahead of the June 22 party exercise.

He noted that the six aspirants have bought, completed, and submitted the party’s expression of interest and nomination forms.

They include Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, Dr Pius Odubu, Chris Ogiemwonyi, Osaro Obazee, and Matthew Iduoriyekemwen.

According to Issa-Onilu, the APC is committed to ensuring due diligence and transparency in the screening exercise and learning from its recent shocking experiences.

In a bid to avoid any lapses in the process, he said the party has made the submitted information and documents of the governorship aspirants available to its members and the public for verification of claims.

The party spokesman explained that this was also necessary to support the screening panel with information or any objection to the claims contained in the submission by the aspirants.

“Consequently, the various submissions will be displayed at the Party’s National Secretariat in Abuja and in Benin City, the Edo State capital from Monday 8th to Tuesday 9th June 2020 for claims and objections.

“We are inviting party members and indeed members of the public to assist the screening committee by scrutinising the information, credentials and documents provided by the governorship aspirants and availing the Screening Committee of counter and correct information, if applicable,” the statement read.

Issa-Onilu said the APC had released its timetable and schedule of activities for the conduct of the 2020 governorship primary elections in Edo State, in line with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) guidelines.

He added that sales of nomination and expression of interest forms had taken place at the APC National Secretariat between May 20 and June 2, 2020.

The APC spokesman stated that the last day for submission of completed forms and accompanying documents was June 3, and publication of claims and objections would end on Tuesday next week before the screening of the aspirants on Wednesday and Thursday next week.

He noted that this would be followed by Screening Appeal on June 12 before the primary election and election appeal scheduled for June 22 and 24, respectively.

  1. OBASEKI SHOULD AS A MATTER OF URGENCY HAVE ANOTHER PLAN ON THE WHOLE PROCCESS, THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT READY TO CEDE HIM THIS TICKET. HMMM, I CAN SEE THAT THEY ARE FIGHTING LIKE A LEOPARD TOO. I CAN SEE, A VERY WONDERFUL BRAIN HERE, TO RIG THE WHOLE PROCESS AT THE DYING MINUITES. LET OBASEKI NEVER, EVER TRUST ANY OF THESE GHOST PREACHERS. THEY WILL USE ALL THEIR STRENGHT AND MIGHT OR EVEN BORROW IF THEIRS ARE NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE THAT OBASEKI DID NOT WIN THE TICKET. THEY JUST WANT HIM TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS AND RIG HIM OUT. PEOPLE SHOULD MARK MY WORD. SO THAT COURT WOULD NO LONGER HAVE GROUND TO NULIFFY THE PRIMARY EVEN IF THE CASE GOES TO COURT. OBASEKI SHOOOOUUUULDDDD NOT ACCEPT WITH THESE PEOPLE IF HE STILL WANT TO BE ACTIVE IN POLITICS.
