 And Senators Sariman Osumbo, one of the governorship aspirants at the just concluded APC primary, held on the 17th of February across the 18 local government areas, and three, seven, four words of Edo status insisted that the outcome of the primaries is a sham. The governorship aspirant made these known after submitting his petition on the sham election that took place in Edo state to newsmen and party sympathizers at the party headquarters in Abuja. Primary elections took place in Edo state. Primary elections don't take place in a hotel. Primary elections take place at the designated points in each of the 192 words of Edo state. I have seen the statement credited to the resident electoral commissioner that the primary he witnessed was the one that took place in a hotel in Edo. You are a lighting gentleman of the price. Is that how they conduct direct primary elections? You answer it. So that is a self admission that direct primaries were not conducted in accordance with the law, the guidelines, the APC constitution, the electoral act. What you saw was not conducted in accordance with the provisions that was only one clause as status because has confirmed that the only one that took place in a hotel in Benizete, there is a self-impactment. While calling on the leadership of the party to save the APC from national embarrassment, Senator Osumbo expressed surprise over the announcement of 60 votes for him over a primary that was never held in his ward by a faceless returning officer. Do you know that the election is a national matter? It is a matter for the national working committee, it is not a state election. So everything concerning this process has to be done from here, the national secretariat of Benizete. Wednesday 21 February has been fixed for the hearing of all petitions arising from the outcome of the primaries.
