A group within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, under the auspices of Sunshine Movement For Change , yesterday, canvassed free and fair governorship primary of the party in August.

A statement by the group  in Akure kicked against any form of   imposition of any of the aspirants “as it was done in the 2012 governorship election.”

The statement, signed by the Coordinator of the group and Secretary, Nelson Mafo and Omopariola Odusola respectively, said imposition will disintegrate the party and bring about protest votes.

“Our primary must be credible, transparent and acceptable to majority of party member and the people of Ondo State “

They reiterated their support for the existing delegates of the party to be used in choosing the party’s flag bearer  for the November election.

Any attempt  to alter and undo the present executives both at state and local government levels they said, “will bring unbearable crisis that the party would not be able to manage till the election proper.”
