RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION IN THE DELTA STATE APC GUBERNATORIAL CONTEST REMAINS SACROSANCT
– PROF. PAT UTOMI
This is to notify all members of our great party and the general public that Prof Pat Utomi who was duly cleared to participate in the Delta State APC gubernatorial contest scheduled for 30th September 2018 is still much in the race.
He has protested obvious deviations from the norm about the way the primary contest was planned to be executed without a delegates list and guidelines being made available to him and other aspirants, even at the time that the primary election was about to begin.
He consequently presented a written protest to the APC nationally constituted Committee led by Major Gen. Lawrence Onoja (Rtd) and called on this body to postpone the primary election till the party makes available both the guidelines and the delegates list to all aspirants to enable them access and canvass for votes. This Prof. Utomi believes is necessary for a fair, free and credible election.
This should be the irreducible minimum that will ensure that our party continues to make positive change and progress towards the institution of a vibrant and inclusive party where the rights of every aspirant is not unduly denied.
Prof. Utomi will explore all available means within the party to ensure that a credible governorship primary election takes place in Delta State.
