Others were aspirants for the Abeokuta south constituency 1 for the state house of assembly, Olanrewaju Enilolobo, Makanjuola Kazeem for the Ewekoro state constituency, and Otunba Olawale Soyode, who is aspiring for The Ifo-Ewekoro federal constituency in the house of representatives.
An aspirant, Mr. Samuel Oni, accused Ogundele of not playing the role of a chairman, adding that he failed to introduce all aspirants to the delegates.
Also, Hon. Oduntan alleged, that those parading themselves as the winners of the primaries did not participate in primaries at the designated venue, but at night in the state PDP secretariat.
Reacting to the allegations, the PDP chairman of the party, said the aspirants can not carry out a court action because they had signed an undertaking and sworn to affidavit that they will accept the outcome of the primaries in good faith.
According to him, in all political and social contests, there are bound to be winners and losers, adding that some of those who lost will be aggrieved.
Ogundele accused politicians of monetizing politics by collecting money from three or more aspirants and at the end of the day, vote for one of them.
The PDP chairman assured that all the aggrieved aspirants who lost in the primaries will be managed, to avoid losing in the 2023 polls.
