Ekiti: APC regrets disrupted governorship primary

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed regret over the disrupted Saturday governorship primary election in Ekiti state, adding that the issue has been resolved amicably with hope to continue the exercise where it stopped.

Recall that the party’s primary election was disrupted by suspected political thugs, leading to indefinite suspension of the exercise.
The Chairman, Ekiti governorship primary and governor of Nasarawa state, Alhaji Tanko Al-Makura, was forced to suspend the exercise after a meeting with the 33 aspirants over the crisis.
But responding Sunday in Abuja, APC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, who expressed the regret, said the issue of indefinite postponement did not arise.
“The situation in Ekiti is regrettable. The issues have been resolved and it is our hope that the exercise can now continue where it stopped.
“The Primaries chairman has spoken to the National Chairman after consulting with the aspirants. The position is that the process should resume as quickly as possible. The issue of indefinite postponement does not arise,” Abdullahi stated.
Blueprint gathered that the disruption has caused panic and confusion at the Oluyemi Kayode stadium, venue of the exercise, as agents of some aspirants fingered the security agencies of allegedly compromising the process in favour of a particular aspirant.
