Going by the complaint of Mr Jimi Lawal’s letter to Apc to the party Chairman over the conduct of OgunState Primary, methinks that if the allegations contained therein were through and properly investigated by the NWC of the party, the published results wouldn’t have been so. The party should consider the confidence her teeming supporters reposted in her rather than taking them for granted over the choice of their flag bearers at all stages of election, that of course if their votes means anything to the party. If the party hopes to continue enjoying the support of the Nigerian electorarate,it is better to have a rethink to avoid OTEDOLA’s episode in Ogun State. To be forewarned is to be forewarned. A stich in time saves nine. Long live Ogun State, Long live Federal Republic of Nigeria
