The female aspirant of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Governorship primary, Folakemi Omogoroye, has called for the immediate cancellation of the election.
In a Sunday statement, Omogoroye alleged that the primary did not proceed as expected, despite Governor Usman Ododo of Kogi State, the committee chairman for the election, stated that it occurred in all 203 wards of the state, including 13 wards in the Okitipupa Local Government Area, which took place on Sunday.
According to CHANNELS TELEVISION report, Omogoroye is one of the 16 aspirants jostling for the APC ticket for the November 16, 2024 governorship election in the state.
Omogoroye in her statement said “there was no election anywhere,” decrying what she described as a “complete rape on democracy.”
She lamented the absence of election officials and voting materials at voting centres, saying her supporters were unable to exercise their right to vote.
The female aspirant further called on the party’s leader, President Bola Tinubu, to intervene and annul the purported election.
She threatened legal action if her demand for a fresh and transparent election is not met.
“I am not going to accept it, and now, I am calling for cancellation and if this is not done, maybe we’ll meet in the court,” she added.
Recall that, protest broke out in Akure, the Ondo State capital on Sunday, as some party members demand the annulment of the exercise and the removal of Ododo as the committee’s chair.
The result of the poll is expected to be announced any moment from now.
