Senator Musiliu Obanikoro has called for the cancellation of the Lagos State governorship primaries, calling it a sham and Bode George supervisor of electoral malpractice.

Obanikoro said Bode George is the problem of the party, querying, “How do you expect the panel chairman arriving Lagos at 10 am on Monday and not starting the election until 5pm in the evening.”

Addressing newsmen at his GRA office shortly after the primaries, Obanikoro said “There is no election result and the elections should be cancelled. The process is completely tainted and going forward with that, will lead to an outcome that will not be beneficial to the party.”

He said he could not understand how accredited delegates of 806 turned out to be 868.

Chief George, also at a press conference, however, denied allegations levelled against him.

“The people have spoken loud and clear. There is no ambiguity in their vision, there is no hesitation in their collective truth. They have chosen Olujimi Agbaje as their choice in the PDP governorship primary in Lagos State.

“The procedure was not designed by me. It was done transparently, you were all there. Our hands of friendship is extended to all those who are aggrieved. Lagos is the most strategic state in the country and we must not joke with it. All those who lost the elections are our boys. We will as one big family go and fight the enemy. Let us deliver Lagos and tell the people that there is a better alternative for them,” he said.
