The attention of the Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to a statement credited to Senator Ajayi Boroffice, to the effect that the State had adopted direct option ahead of primaries, and wish to believe that the Senator has been misquoted.
Firstly, it takes a partyman that has consistently demonstrated concern and commitment for the party and its affairs, and remains connected to the State Secretariat to appreciate the plans and activities of the party.
It is inappropriate for Senator Ajayi Boroffice to speak on behalf of the State chapter, especially where there is a vibrant Working Committee, led by Engr. Ade Adetimehin, in place.
It is the responsibility of the leadership of the APC to brainstorm, as it has been done elsewhere, and come up with a position that would be announced through the right channels.
Between the National Vice Chairman (South West), Pastor Bankole Oluwajana, who said leaders would soon take a stand, and Senator Boroffice, one is a more believable and credible source than the other.
Ondo APC would consider all the available and legal options, and go for a popular one that does not hurt the interest of the stakeholders.
The party appeals to aspirants at all levels to be guided by civilized rules in their quest for positions, and avoid creating the impression that there are divisions in the state.
The State APC had assured, in a recent statement, that it would ensure a transparent and credible primaries, devoid of sharp practices. That position is hereby reaffirmed.
It is pertinent to remind ourselves that the three options, including delegates, consensus, and direct are all lawful for us in the APC.
