Senator Michael Bamidele Opeyemi, who represents Ekiti Central Senatorial District, has called the Ekiti All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary poll a hoax.
He threatened to take on the “principals and powers” behind the exercise, which he claimed failed to satisfy the basic requirement for conducting election primaries.
Bamidele, in a statement provided to 360MEDIA in Abuja on Sunday, described the APC primary in Ekiti as “ugly,” adding that he will “take all necessary legal proceedings to challenge the viability of the results reported by the party in the January 27 primary.”
He claimed that the alleged abridgment of democracy and flagrant infringement of the Electoral Act in the election will be brought to judicial scrutiny through the party’s constitution and the Federal Republic of Nigeria’s constitution of 1999.
He claims that no poll was placed on January 27 and that the data provided by the committee were falsified for a malicious reason.
“However, very sadly, those in charge of affairs in Ekiti State hijacked, abbreviated, compromised, and bastardized the process of holding these primaries, which is equal to a full abuse of trust and leadership,” the statement stated.
“I had no question in my mind that we would be coasting to victory had the process been transparent and fair, based on a critical appraisal of our campaign strategy of positively reaching out to our people in all cracks and crevices of Ekiti State to convey our progressive agenda.”
“It is well known that no primary election was held on Thursday, January 27, 2022, but results were reported based on fabricated and false vote counts,” says the author.
He praised his throngs of fans in the state as well as his campaign staff, saying that the election process had been stolen, shortened, compromised, and bastardized by those in power in the state.
