Betty, the wife of Rotimi Akeredolu, the governor of Ondo State, has accused Governor Hope Uzodinma of allegedly forcing candidates in the APC’s federal parliamentary primary elections in Imo State.

Mrs Akeredolu is a senatorial candidate for the APC in Imo North.

In a viral video, the governor’s wife, who was visibly upset, expressed her unhappiness with the arrangement.

She believes that in order for a popular candidate to emerge, the post must be disputed among the candidates.

Any effort to force a candidate on the people of Owerri Zone, she claims, would be fiercely rejected.

She also called on the leadership of the party to reject any result emanating from the process as there was no transparent process.

The Ondo first lady said, “I am insisting that we must go by delegates election. I cannot waste time and resources campaigning only to be told that candidates would emerge by consensus.

“We must vote and if I lose gallantly, I will accept the result. Consensus my foot. If men agree to consensus, I won’t agree. After spending my time and money, you are now telling me about consensus and all these while we have been campaigning and nobody talked about consensus.”

 

Police and other security personnel drove Akeredolu’s wife and her supporters out of the APC secretariat where they were demonstrating, according to news reports.

When her fans went nuts, claiming that they must be allowed to vote, confusion ensued, but the police attempted to keep the mob under control.

There was a rush in the process, as both media and delegates who had also arrived for the exercise scurried for safety.

When speaking to media outside the secretariat, Akeredolu said it was unfair to enable aspirants to campaign just to be told that the party had chosen the consensus choice.
