There are gunshots in Ado Ekiti as seven governorship aspirants of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are currently staging a protest over alleged compromise ahead of the party’s primary.
The Thursday morning at the party’s secretariat in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital also saw the aggrieved aspirants calling for the cancellation of the scheduled direct primary election over alleged compromise.
The aggrieved aspirants are Opeyemi Bamidele, Dayo Adeyeye, Femi Bamisile, Kayode Ojo, Bamidele Faparusi, Olusola Afolabi and Demola Popoola.
They told journalists that the primary election committee has allegedly compromised the process by handing over result sheets to loyalists of Govenor Kayode Fayemi to the advantage of one of the aspirants, Biodun Oyebanji across the 16 local government areas.
They called on the leadership of the party to mandate the election committee, under the leadership of Jigawa State governor, Abubakar Badaru, to suspend the process in the interest of the party.
“We will destroy APC in Ekiti,” they warned if the compromised process was not reversed.
Meanwhile, ahead of the APC primaries, gunshots from unknown sources have rented the air as people were seen scampering to safety on Thursday morning.
