Dr. Mahmood Halilu Ahmed, brother
to President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife, Aisha, has written a petition to the
national chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole
demanding reconstitution of Adamawa Gubernatorial Election Committee.
Ahmed is contesting for
governorship ticket against Governor Jibrilla Bindow.
Ahmed said if his observations
were not addressed, he might not participate in the primary scheduled for
Tuesday.
The petition read in part:
“Whilst we confirm that all necessary avenues and options were considered in
the meeting held in respect of the state gubernatorial primary election, to
enable the conduct of free, fair and acceptable outcomes, we hereby wish to
notify your office of the following violations against the internal democratic
process of our party-the APC
“The delegate tags were printed
by the state government. The delegate list has not been made available for our
scrutiny and confirmation. The venue of the primary elections is not
well-secured and illuminated.
“Contrary to the directive of the
National Working Committee of the party, which suspended the State Executive
Committee for six months, it is to our greatest dismay that some of the
suspended State Executive Committee members are parading themselves in acting
capacity; and were constituted by the state government as the Local Organizing
Committee, in which the interest of other candidates were not considered as
directed by NWC.
“Finally, it is worthy of note
that all the above issues were presented to the Primary Election Committee but
are not taken into consideration as they were blatantly ignored.
“It is therefore our candid
observation that this election cannot be conducted properly; neither will this
exercise be free, fair and credible.
“We therefore call on the good
office of NWC to immediately reconstitute the Adamawa State Gubernatorial
Primary Election Committee.”
