Adeoti – Disregard social media rumour,APC is yet to constitute governorship appeal committee.
news making rounds that the petition of Alhaji Moshood Adeoti against the governorship primary election of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has been dismissed.
The factional group also disclosed that the Appeal Committee of the APC primary election is yet to be constituted.
It will be recalled that the All Progressives Congress in Osun State had their gubernatorial primary election on February 19.
Three aspirants Governor Gboyega Oyetola, former Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Lasun Yusuff and former Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti contested the primary election.
Oyetola polled 222,169 to defeat his closest rival, the former SSG, Adeoti who polled 12,921 while the ex- Deputy Speaker of the House of Representative polled 460 votes.
In a statement issued on Sunday by the Publicity Secretary of the group, Abiodun Agboola, he said it will be an act of impunity and total disregard to democratic process if truly the Appeal Committee had sat and dismissed Adeoti’s appeal without due process.
Agboola said Adeoti participated in the governorship primary and was rigged out with impunity by Governor Oyetola who manipulated the election process in his own favour because he is a member of the National Caretaker and Extra Ordinary Convention Planning Committee that organised the primary.
“In line with the guideline and timetable of the primary, Alhaji Adeoti filed a petition to the Osun APC governorship primary election Appeal Committee on Tuesday, February 22.
“His lawyers were at the National Secretariat of the APC on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with the aim of knowing and meeting the Appeal Committee.
