Ambode’s emergence was a pre-orchestrated drama – Tokunbo Wahab, APC guber aspirant kicks

by Akan Ido

Barrister Tokunbo Wahab has expressed his displeasure over the conduct of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primaries which took place yesterday at the Onikan Stadium, Lagos.

According to hihe  primary election and the process that goes with it were shrouded in secrecy and unprecedented bare-faced irregularities.
In the words of the aspirant: “If All Progressives Congress, a party in the forefront of the change movement could subject itself to a shoddy, suspicious preparation, what then is the moral justification for blaming INEC regarding the flop in the Voter Registration and PVC distribution in Lagos State?”
He stated emphatically that his position and that of the 10 aspirants have been been consistent in the last few weeks from various consultative meetings.
These include the provision of adequate notice should be given to all aspirants prior to the primaries as provided by party and INEC constitutions and that delegates’ list should be provided to all well before time as well.
According to Wahab: “My agent did not receive the so-called list until early hours of this (Thursday) morning. As at today, even as the charade referred to as primaries was going on, it was not clear if we were using the 20 LGAs or 57LGA and LCDAs.
“We made our position known to the national leadership yesterday and we only attended today to observe and possess proofs of various ‎irregularities.”
He continued saying, “I can say categorically, that what happened today was not a primary but a pre-orchestrated drama. We shall be making our positions known to the party and INEC within the next few hours and we shall pursue this to a logical, legal conclusion.”
