A female governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressive Congress, in Ondo state, Engr. Folakemi Omogoroye, has called for the cancellation of the Saturday governorship primary election, conducted under the headship of the Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Ododo.

Omogoroye, has therefore, called the party’s leader, President Bola Tinubu, to intervene and annul the purported election.
According to her “President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu gave us women a renewed hope agenda that prompted me to go into the race with assurance that the election is going to be free and fair and that was why I went into this contest.
“But to my greatest surprise, the reverse is the case. I was on the field from 7am no election materials, were seen, not to talk of seeing any party officials or INEC officials and a voice came up that Aiyedatiwa has won, Aiyedatiwa has won.
“I don’t know how that happened and I don’t know how party is the going to take that, because I, Engr. Folakemi Omogoroye will not accept that; because I believe in the party, I have been in the party for years, and this is the time we have to make the party better that other parties will emulate, but this is not the case.
