Why I won’t boycott Monday’s primary election- Olusola Oke

A Governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress  in Ondo State, Chief Olusola Oke (SAN) says he won’t boycott the party primary election slated for Monday.


Oke spoke with reporters  after APC reconciliation committee met with the aspirants including Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.

He came after four aspirants who attended the meeting left the venue.


Oke said he would not boycott the primary election so that he would have locus standi to challenge the outcome in court.


He warned the party leadership against breaching the party’s constitution by adopting the indirect mode of primary.


“I don’t boycott any election. It is not in my character and is not advisable,” he said.


“Under the electoral law, if you boycott or you don’t participate, you cannot challenge.


“The major issue is the mode of primary. We told them not to breach the APC constitution. It is left for the party to do the correct thing and not do imposition or the members will react accordingly.


“Reconciliation is important, but don’t insult the intelligence of anybody,” he said
