    Oshiomhole: All Osun APC members will pick governorship candidate
    News & Trends •
    what that means is that every card carrying member of our party will participate in the process of nominating the flag bearer of the party2 oshiomhole further explained that the essence was to allow more party members to participate in the process of nominating candidates and to remove issues of corruption or monetising the processes1 party chairman adams oshiomhole stated this on monday in abuja while speaking with newsmen after a closed door meeting with members of the partys national working committee nwc. the direct primary on thursday will be the first to be held by any political party since the return of party politics in 19991 oshiomhole said that 17 aspirants who obtained the partys expression of interest and nomination forms to contest its ticket at its primary slated for thursday had all been screened and cleared1 according to him the 17 aspirants are all competent to effectively govern the state1 we do not lack competent hands to provide leadership in osun after the exit of gov. rauf aregbesola1 oshiomhole added that though all the aspirants had been cleared it is only one of them that would fly the partys flag at the election1 regardless of who wins the primary we hope that the rest of them will support the person to ensure that we do our best to retain the governance of osun1 we have decided that in order to ensure popular participation and to deepen democracy in osun state in-line with the provision of our party constitution which allows for either direct or indirect primary we have resolved that the governorship election primary in osun state will be conducted on the basis of direct primary1 in a shift from the delegate primary adopted in ekiti state the all progressives congress has said it will adopt the direct primary to pick its candidate for the september 22 osun governorship election1 this for us is the most democratic way to conduct election and is in line with what our critical stakeholders from that part of the country wants and we are quite happy to oblige he said1 the direct primary will allow all card carrying members of the party to elect the partys candidate unlike the delegate system which is often prone to corruption1 he added that the direct primary would also give party members a sense of ownership of the outcome of the exercise1 he further added that the party leadership had constituted a panel to be chaired by gov. abudulazeez yari of zamfara to oversee the process1 oshiomhole expressed optimism that yari who is also the chairman of the nigeria governors forum ngf could not be compromised1 he will be assisted by four others who will work with him to ensure that this direct primary is conducted in a hitch free manner oshiomhole said1 he condemned the recent killings in sokoto state and other parts of the country describing it as unfortunate adding that the party was worried about the development1 oshiomhole added that the partys preliminary investigations showed that those affected in the sokoto killings were from a part of the state that could be said to be quite rural and probably a place where people dont even have cattle1 all they have is just their farm land. these killings like other killings across the country are condemnable and the nwc condemn them in the strongest words possible1 we believe that every nigerian regardless of his location has a right to life. we admit that the minimum obligation of government is to protect lives and property1 we therefore urge our security chiefs to do everything possible not only to arrest all those involved in these killings but to do everything possible to be seen to have the competence to protect lives and property1 no one will be satisfied with making explanations or try to explain why we cannot secure human lives especially of a nigerian citizen within the borders of the country1 this is the only country we have and so we must do everything to give every nigerian a sense of security regardless of his accident of birth placehe said1
