Frustrated by APC direct primaries, Osun SSG moves against party

Secretary to State Government (SSG) of Osun, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, has expressed his full grievance over the All Progressives Congress (APC) adoption of direct primary in the election of its candidate for the September 22, governorship election in the state.

The SSG displayed his full grievance over the conduct of the primary by finally dumping the APC for the Action Democratic Party (ADC).

Earlier on Friday, minutes before the APC governorship primary, Adeoti had in a letter addressed to Abdul’aziz Yari, chairman of APC primaries committee, announced his withdrawal from the election, alleging that the direct primaries adopted by the party was tailored to favour the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola.

While he made entrance into the ADP secretariat, shouts and chants of “Sheu”, “Sheu” filled the air.

Adeoti is believed will continue his governorship ambition under the platform of the ADC.
