Ahead of today’s All Progressives Congress, APC governorship primaries
in Edo state, a major contender for the party’s ticket, Mr. Kenneth
Imasuagbon, has lamented President Muhammadu Buhari’s absence from
the
country at a time the ruling party is conducting primary poll in the
state.
A video of Imasuagbon shedding tears inside a commercial aircraft
lamenting why Buhari should be away at this time has been trending on
the internet. He is heard in the video saying: “Why is Buhari ill now
that I want to win election?”
Daily Trust reports that Imasuagbon, who confirmed the contents of
the video while speaking with journalists by phone, attributed what was
happening within the Edo State APC to Buhari’s absence, stressing that
Buhari’s presence in the country would have stopped the purchase of
Permanent Voter Cards, PVC, and a situation where aspirants were denied
equal opportunities.
He accused the state governor, Adams Oshiomhole of using state
machinery to intimidate delegates, but expressed confidence in the
Alhaji Aminu Masari-led committee in conducting free and fair primaries.
“I was crying because those that truncated democracy wanted to shake hands with me,” he explained.
