Osi Wards Deserve Better: Group Berates Ganiyu Abolarin Over APC Primaries
The Ekiti Progressives Youth Forum (EPYF) has condemned the actions of Hon. Gani Abolarin, member representing Ekiti constituency in the State House of Assembly, during the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries in Ekiti LGA.
"The actions of Hon. Gani Abolarin, including the cancellation of Osi wards 1 & 2 primaries, suppressing the voices of stakeholders, and disregarding the concerns of councillor candidates, have raised concerns among stakeholders, and we urge him to retract his steps by ensuring fairness in the election process," said Olawale Adebiyi, Chairman of the Ekiti Progressives Youth Forum (EPYF).
According to Adebiyi, "The disputes between Hon. Gani Abolarin and certain stakeholders, which he believes might impact his 2027 aspirations, should not negatively affect the councillor candidates in the area. His actions are a clear attempt to undermine the democratic process and perpetuate injustice."
"The cancellation of the primaries and announcement of the candidates for the wards is a clear evidence that something is amiss, and we demand a fair investigation into the matter. We will not stand idly by while the rights of our people are trampled upon," Adebiyi said.
The Ekiti Progressives Youth Forum (EPYF) appeals to the State Chairman and the APC's appeal committee to mediate with Hon. Gani Abolarin to ensure fairness for Osi wards 1 & 2.
"We urge the appeal committees to visit Osi wards 1 & 2 for a comprehensive assessment and ensure that the councilors truly represent the popular choices within their respective domains. Anything short of this will be a betrayal of the people's trust," Adebiyi emphasized.
"We hope for a fair and impartial resolution to this matter to reassure our many supporters that justice and fairness will prevail," Adebiyi concluded.
