Moshood Adeoti, secretary to Osun
state government (SSG), has announced his withdrawal from the primary election
of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Adeoti made his decision known on
Friday in a letter addressed to Abdul’aziz Yari, chairman of APC primaries
committee.
The Osun SSG said he was
withdrawing because the primaries had been arranged to favour Gboyega Oyetola,
chief of staff to Rauf Aregbesola, the state governor.
He said there was no credible
register of members with which free, fair and transparent direct primaries
could be conducted.
“While I am not withdrawing from
the governorship race, I have decided not to participate in the July 20, 2019
direct primaries of the APC in Osun state for the above stated and other
reasons,” Adeoti said.
Adams Oshiomhole, the APC
national chairman, on Monday said the party will adopt the direct primary to
pick its candidate for the Osun governorship election.
“What that means is that every
card-carrying member of our party will participate in the process of nominating
the flag bearer of the party,” he said.
The primary election is currently
ongoing in the state.
