Why Direct Primary Is A Fraud

By Lere Olayinka

#APC and Direct Primary Scam

#Lagos APC Guber Primary (October 2018):

1. Sanwo-Olu – 970, 851
2. Ambode – 72,901
TOTAL = 1,043,752

#Real Election (March 2019):
Sanwo-Olu (APC) – 739,445
Jimi Agbaje (PDP) – 206,141

Meaning that 304,307 “APC members” who voted at the primary election did not vote for APC during the election proper. How come?

#In Kano:
October 2018:
Ganduje polled 2,740,847 votes to win APC primary.

#Real Election:
Ganduje (APC) – 1,033,695
Abba Yusuf (PDP) – 1,024,713

Votes of APC and PDP put together not up to the votes with which Ganduje was elected as APC candidate?

It also implied that 1,707,152 APC members who voted to elect Ganduje as candidate did not vote during the March 2019 general election. How come?

#In Anambra
Andy Uba won APC primary with 230,201 votes.

Total vote cast during APC primary was 348, 490.

The same Andy Uba polled 43,285 votes in the just concluded election, meaning that 305,205 APC members did not vote!

So what happened to the 305,205 APC members?

#APC presidential primary
President Buhari won in Kaduna with 1,956, 500 votes. He won in Kano state with 2,931,235.

However, at the general election, Buhari got 993,445 votes in Kaduna State and 1,464,768 votes in Kano State.

As enumerated above, Direct Primary is FRAUD.

This is because any election in which number of voters are not known can never be credible. Or which party in Nigeria today, can say with certainty the number of members in each of the wards in the country?
