A Federal Capital Territory, FCT, senatorial aspirant under the platform of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, has opened up on how the primary election was allegedly manipulated by some party leaders.
The activist-turned politician
contested for the FCT Senate but pulled out over alleged misconduct by
officials.
In a lengthy statement detailing how the primary election
was conducted, Aisha alleged that the exercise was conducted in a closed room
with “predetermined outcome dressed in procedural formalities”.
She said after the exercise was “repeatedly postponed”, the
venue was also “changed at the last minute”.
Aisha alleged that the “guidelines of the party were not
followed. Delegate based process was introduced to be conducted at a central
location instead of the direct primaries to be conducted at Local Government
headquarters.
“When the moment came, the contest was not decided by
delegates in the open; it was affirmed in a closed room, away from the people
whose voices it was supposed to reflect.
“The party will indeed go on to release statements upon
statements about the free and fair nature of the Abuja FCT primaries.
“They are entitled to their voice, but the facts that
transpired when litigated by conscience and the guidelines of the electoral act
do not reflect justice and fairness”.
