A leading Oyo Central Senatorial Hopeful on the platform of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Honourable ‘Bimbo Kolade has approached the “Election Appeal Committee” of his party, APC and submitted petitions.

After meeting the appeal committee, the release issued by the “Directorate of Political and Public Communication” of the former Commissioner for Local Government in the state, Hon.

Bimbo Kolade, one of the Oyo Central Senatorial district’s aspirants, has approached the appeal committee with evidences and he demanded that the primaries be cancelled.

It reads further,“Appearing before the committee with his appeal letter and evidence, Hon. Bimbo Kolade who is a law abiding citizen narrated all that transpired during the inconclusive primaries.
Part of the irregularities discovered were as follows:

1. The exercise was agreed by all aspirants to commence by 9am but this started by an aspirant and his people by 7am.
2. There were fake delegates’ list that were used during the exercise. This left many delegates without performing their civic right.
3. The state excos that were present had a free day walking up and down busy working for a particular aspirant.
4. Ona-Ara delegates were not allowed in to vote.
5. No result was announced.
   It is clear that the umpires were busy doing the bid of a particular aspirant, therefore, we had no choice than to approach appeal committee to hear our matter.

Signed:

Kehinde Ekerin.”
