A mixture of excitement, fear and anger, on Monday, trailed the chairmanship primaries of the Oyo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the exercise turned parallel in some local government areas.
While the conduct of the primaries was peaceful in some places, it was characterised by open anger in others, culminating in the hurried postponement of the exercise, just as parallel primaries were held in a few centres.
The party had earlier fixed last Thursday, for the primaries that were later rescheduled for March 8 as part of the preparations for the May 15 chairmanship and councillorship elections announced by the Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission (OYSIEC).

TOP gladiators of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, yesterday, stormed the stakeholders meeting of the party in the state, in readiness for the commencement of the party’s membership registration and revalidation exercise.
The impressive turn out of those described as critical stakeholders at the meeting which took place at the party’s new state secretariat at Oke-Ado, Ibadan, may have finally put an end to the intra-party bickering which Oyo APC has had to battle with since 2018.
In his address of welcome, the state’s Caretaker Chairman, Chief Akin Oke, did not mince words in expressing his delight over “the collective resolve of all leaders, chieftains and members of the Oyo APC to work together as one and thus reposition the party for the task of winning future elections in the state.”
