But one of the guber aspirants, Hon Isaac Kekemeke has faulted the process that led to the indirect primaries that will produce the candidate of the party ahead of Governorship poll in October.

Kekemeke said that the committee led by Governor Yahaya Bello was not fair to many of the governorship aspirants.

“I said as much to Governor Yahaya Bello and his team.

“For me this process is unfair. It is aimed at producing a predetermined result because all we have heard about this election had been heard through government officials, Sources that are friendly or campaigning for the governor to return.”
