Aggrieved Aspirants Petition APC, Demand Cancellation Of Ondo Gov Primary Election

Channels Television quoted Abubakar as saying,“We have received three petitions from these three aspirants: Gbenga Edema, Jimi Odimayo, and Wale Akinterinwa.” In his appeal, Akinterinwa said:“It is clear that the Committee did not distribute materials to any local government in Ondo State for the election.
