PDP LGA Party Primary:Obusom Floors Demian


*We are a united party, ready to win all election....Evang Maduemezia

*Some Party Elders shun Primaries

*Olejeme Supporters Cry Foul

In what observers and partisan political analysts described as one of the freest and fairest party primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Oshimill South LGA chapter, the delegates decided their choice today.

The party primaries which started at about 11am had the LGA party chairman, Evang. Ebielim Maduemezia welcome both delegates, elders and leaders to the venue with the assurance that the party is more stronger, united and better positioned to win all elective positions in the council area.

The party primary that almost had the image and shape of a mono-contest, as was evident, one of the two contestants, Lady Sandrah Demian, was visibly absent from the venue of the primaries.

Despite the above, voting was conducted for both contestants, Pastor Barr. Chuks Obusom and Lady Sandrah Daimian, which started at about 12.10noon.

Delegates to the primaries were drawn from ward and LGA party chairmen and secretaries, former LGA council chairmen, vice chairmen and secretaries, former and current state party executive members from the council area, federal and state legislators.

About 85% of expected delegates attended the primaries, the events also registered the absence of some key party elders and leaders from the council area.

Some political analysts at the venue confirmed to Asaba Post News-Wire that some of the party elders and leaders not present today, were either absent to boycott the exercise as a demonstration of an advance displeasure over the outcome of the primaries or were on the party's train of party faithfuls who travelled to Osun state for the guber polls today.

After about one hour delegates casted their votes, the returning officer, Hon Mozia, from Oshimili North Local Government Area, invited both contestants's representatives to witness the vote counting.

Party delegates overwhelmly casted their votes for Pastor Barr. Chuks Obusom to be the party's flag bearer, come October 25th council polls.

Out of the 110 expected delegates, 88 delegates were accredited to decide who becomes the party flag bearer.

Pastor Obusom became the delegates's choice as he polled 86 delegates votes, one delegate voided his vote, while another delegate casted the lone vote that Lady Sandrah Daimian had.

An agreeved loyal supporter of Lady Diamian and a well known Dr Mrs Olejeme fan, though not a delegate, who don't want her name online, registered her displeasure over the outcome of the party primaries.

This is totally unacceptable, in fact this is a coup against Dr. Mrs Olejeme, this local government council delegates have zero respect for women proactive politicians.

Who in recent times have supported the party in this LGA like Dr. Mrs Olejeme, she helped most of these delegates's children and relations get jobs, God is this how our people can so quickly forget good gestures.

My most painful aspect is that the women delegates forgot their fellow woman, our source lamented.

Another male Pro-Olejeme fan almost broke down in tears when granting this media chat with Asaba Post News-Wire.

How can the current PDP LGA Exco members so quickly forgot to cast some votes for the aspirant sponsored by the female politial leader who on monthly basis had them on her pay roll.

Of all Dr. Mrs Olejeme has done for these party LGA executive members, she bought van for them, took some to Isreal, gave some of them their first life time opportunity to board an aircraft, too bad what i saw today.

Indeed am afraid of our people, what is the worth of all the good great works of Olejeme in this local government area, so just one vote is due this great female asaba politician, so only one person out of 87 delegates appreciate my principal, Dr Mrs Olejeme, cheei, this is just not fair, Olejeme's male fan lamented.
