Not less than seven out of eight All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirants have called for the suspension of the ongoing primaries in Ekiti.
The aspirants include Kayode Mojo, Demola Popoola, Femi Bamisile, Bamidele Faparusi, Dayo Adeyeye, Opeyemi Bamidele and Afolabi Oluwasola .
They are protesting over alleged irregularities in the conduct of party primaries.
The aspirants thronged the party Secretariat in Ado Ekiti with their supporters on Thursday, claiming the process has been manipulated to favour Abiodun Oyebanji who is tagged Governor Kayode Fayemi’s preferred choice.
They also accused the superintending officials of distributing voting materials earlier than scheduled with a sinister objective to give a sole aspirant an edge.
They warned that the controversial primary may spell doom for the party as the result of the election will not be acceptable.
Meanwhile, voting was going on at various wards across the state with some centers recording huge turnout of voters as of the time of this reporting.
