Stakeholders in the Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have expressed grave concern over alleged plans by the Governor Hope Uzodinma-led Governorship Primary Committee to manipulate the APC primary scheduled for Saturday in an arrangement they said was planned to produce Senator Monday Okpehbolo and Honorable Dennis Idahosa, as the winner and first runner up respectively in the contest.

This, the stakeholders, said is the political card, being played by the former Governor of the State, Senator Adams Oshiomole, to field both aspirants.as the Governorship candidate and running mate of the party,
 in the forthcoming Edo State gubernatorial election.
The stakeholders raised the alarm over the committee’s failure to dispatch election officials to oversee the process in various local governments. This omission, they said,  raised suspicions that the committee might be intending to announce predetermined results rather than ensuring a free and fair electoral exercise.
The stakeholders asserted that the integrity of the primary election process must be upheld, and that any attempt to subvert the will of the party members will not be tolerated. They called.upon the APC leadership at both the state and national levels to intervene immediately and ensure that the primary election is conducted in accordance with the party’s principles of transparency and fairness.
Furthermore, the stakeholders urged all the members and supporters of the party to remain vigilant and report any irregularities or attempts at manipulation to the appropriate authorities.
The Edo State APC stakeholders reaffirmed their commitment to the democratic ideals of the party and emphasized the importance of conducting a credible and transparent primary elections as being fundamental.
