APC Aspirants in Edo State Claim Unfair Nomination Process

Aspirants for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State have raised concerns about a selective process in the sale of nomination forms for the upcoming primary elections. They allege that the process favors certain individuals, particularly incumbents, and undermines fair treatment.

Governor Mondai Okpebholo and party leader Jarret Teneb are called upon to address these issues. APC spokesman Peter Uwadia Igbinigi has dismissed these allegations as false and misleading, asserting that the process is transparent and open to all aspirants who meet the stipulated requirements.

He noted that a public notice was issued inviting aspirants to collect forms upon payment. The primary elections for the Edo State House of Assembly are scheduled for later this month.

Despite the claims of unfairness, Igbinigi emphasized that the party remains committed to a fair electoral process, stating that the secretariat is open for submissions, even on weekends, to accommodate all aspirants.
