Senator Ayodele Arise has formally rejected the results of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election in Ekiti State, alleging the process was fraudulent. Arise described the primary as a “sham” and is contesting the outcome. He has directly appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as the national leader of the APC, to intervene in the matter. The senator seeks a review to ensure a fair and democratic process determines the party’s candidate for the upcoming elections. This rejection raises concerns about internal party divisions within the Ekiti APC. Further details regarding the specific irregularities cited by Arise have not yet been widely released, but the situation highlights potential challenges to the party’s unity ahead of the polls. The APC has not yet officially responded to Arise’s claims.
