APC Aspirants Fault Membership Revalidation Exercise.

Seven governorship aspirants under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, in Ondo State have raised concerns over alleged lack of transparency in the revalidation of the party’s membership register ahead of the April 20 primary.

The aspirants, Jimoh Ibrahim, Olusola Oke, Wale Akinterinwa, DiranIyantan, DayoFaduyile, Gbenga Edema, and Jimi Odimayo, expressed fear that the development would hinder the smooth process of the election.

In a letter addressed to the National Chairman of the APC, the aspirants, who frowned at the ‘secrecy’ involved in the revalidation exercise, emphasized that the development portends potential threats to the fairness and integrity of the primary.

With about N300 million paid as dues by some of the members of the party, the aspirants disclosed that genuine party members were not revalidated, raising doubts about the credibility of the exercise.

In the latter, the governorship hopefuls called for urgent intervention and corrective measures to address the shortcomings in the membership revalidation exercise.
