 Meanwhile, three aspirants jostled for the Udo South's senatorial ticket on the platform of APCF kicked against a ledge in position of an aspirant by the party leadership. Speaking on behalf of the aspirant, former Nigerian ambassador to Togu, Shalaijah said the party leadership must be neutral and must be fair to all contestants. The aspirant said any attempt to oppose an aspirant on them will lead to an unnecessary crisis in the party. In a democratic setting, we expect that all the aspirants will be given enough space and encouraged to conduct their own affairs in a democratic manner. And that the party will give the aspirants a level playing field to contest in a free and fair atmosphere. But as now we are getting from the party chairman, for the past one and a half weeks, he's been moving around the senatorial district. We want to seize the opportunity to call on the national chairman of the party, including his executive members, to call the state chairman to order because we are serious contenders to the ticket of our party.
