Bamidele urges APC to conduct free, fair primary
Former member of the House of Representatives, Michael Opeyemi Bamidele, has urged the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to ensure that they conduct a free and fair primary, to give room for reconciliation at the end of the exercise.

He stated this in Otun Ekiti in Moba Local Government Council of the state while addressing delegates yesterday in preparation for the primary.
The former federal lawmaker who is currently on a tour of the 16 local councils, in Ido Ekiti during the week said: ‘’Some people are worried about the number of aspirants’ jostling for the governorship position. It is a welcome development, even more aspirants would still come out.
‘’At least, when our members need help in their wards, they should able to support them.”
