A person running for governor from the All Progressives Congress in Ondo State, Folakemi Omogoroye, has refused the governorship primary election on Saturday and is asking for it to be cancelled.
Talking on Sunday, the candidate claimed that the election didn't happen in many areas across the state.
She urged the party's national leaders and President Bola Tinubu to get involved in the situation.
She said, "President Bola Tinubu gave us women a renewed hope agenda that prompted me to go into the race with assurance that the election is going to be free and fair.
But to my greatest surprise, the reverse is the case. I was on the field from 7 am, no election materials were seen not to talk of any party officials or INEC officials. I don't know how that happened and I don't know how the party is going to take that.
But I, Engr. Folakemi Omogoroye will not accept that; because I believe in the party.
I have been in the party for years, and this is the time we have to make the party better"
Omogoroye urged the national leadership of the party to hold another primary election, threatening legal action if not.
The PUNCH reported that two aspirants in the election, Mr Wale Akinterinwa and Chief Olusola Oke have also condemned the process of the election, calling for its cancellation.
