Mixed reactions have greeted the choice of choice of direct primaries, which might be used in the next few days to determine the candidates of the All progressive Congress, APC, for the 2019 elections with many hailing Asiwaju Tinubu and Adams Oshinmole for the descision.
Naijahottetgist has relaibly gathered reasons why the national leader of APC, Asiwaju Tinubu, has insisted on this system for Osun primaries, a well placed chieftain of the party whom we spoke to said Asiwaju and his team saw this as the only way out as Alhaji Adeoti who later decamped and is the ADP candidate and Deupty speaker house of Reps Hon Lasun had a working relationship and to the dismay of Gov Aregbesola who had 70percent of the delegates.
The counter strategy was the direct primaries which was married with irregularities.
A party source has described this as a way of wriggling out of the impending legal issues that might happen if the court cases against the balogun led Excos by the fraud Omi faction goes bad and which might stop APC from presenting candidate in Lagos.
“Yes there are issues with Asiwaju and Ambode but not issues that can’t be sorted” our source who says Asiwaju descision was just him thinking ahead.
Our source added, “Those rejoicing that Direct primaries will eliminate godfather in Lagos don’t know history ,was it not Direct primaries that brought in fashola in that controvisial primaries, whether direct or indirect Asiwaju will put who ever he wants in those positions” he added.
