The controversy over the national convention of the All Progressives Alliance (APC) lingered yesterday as a chieftain of the party and former foreign affairs minister, Chief Tom Ikimi, explained why he boycotted the convention held in Abuja, on Friday.
Ikimi also said he would make his stand known on his speculated defection to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) this week.
Ikimi who planned to contest the national chairmanship position of the main opposition political platform was conspicuously absent at the convention held at the Eagles Square, Abuja.
Former Governor of Edo State, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, emerged the national chairman of the party at the convention.
However, Ikimi, yesterday, said his presence would have given credibility to the ‘flawed processes’ that produced Odigie-Oyegun as national chairman of APC.
Ikimi said, “There was no election. Odigie-Oyegun was selected and appointed as chairman. That was why I did not fill and submit my nomination form. I boycotted the convention because its outcome was pre-determined.”
The former minister made the clarification less than 24 hours after Odigie-Oyegun insisted that Ikimi withdrew from the race on his own.
