Kwara guber: PDP planted moles in our party – APC chieftain, Sulyman
Kunle Sulyman has appealed to the party to adopt consensus option in
selecting the party flag bearer for governorship election in the
state.
Sulyman, who made the appeal on Friday in Ilorin while speaking with
journalists, said that only consensus option would prevent mole
planted in APC from hijacking the party.
"It is better to adopt consensus in the selection of the governorship
candidate to eliminate mole planted in APC.
"I know that not less than six of the aspirants in our party were
planted to hijack APC.
He stressed that if the national secretariat of the party adopted
consensus in the state, it would also remove any rancour that might
arise from the indirect primary.
Sulyman, a lawyer and pioneer chairman of PDP in Kwara, said adopting
consensus candidate would remove spending huge sums of money by
aspirants.
The chieftain also appealed to elders and stakeholders of the party to
join hands with him in appealing to the national officers to adopt a
consensus candidate in the interest of the party.
Sulyman, however, said that in the event the consensus option failed,
the national officers should fall back to direct primary, pleading
that indirect primary should not be used.
"In direct primary, you don't know who to buy with huge sums of money
because all card-carrying members of the party are eligible to vote in
direct primary."
He said the APC Advisory Committee in Kwara which he was a member met
severally with the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed where
mode of the primary was discussed.
"At the meeting, we resolved that in the absence of consensus
approach, direct primary should be adopted".
