BREAKING: Lagos primary may be rescheduled as APC NWC kicks
Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary election in Lagos
state, has admitted that the exercise may be rescheduled.
The committee had earlier dissociated itself from the ongoing primary.
Addressing a press conference Tuesday evening, the Chairman of the
Lagos Governorship Electoral panel, Chief Clement Ebri, explained the
confusion that trailed the exercise.
"We want a victory that will be credible, and will be in line with the
guidelines and rules. We are now ready to do the ground running.
"In the next few minutes, I will contact the national office to inform
them that we are now ready for the primary."
Displaying the result sheet to be used for the primary, Ebri added:
"We were waiting for the Lagos APC chairman to provide some
information, but it came barely an hour ago.
"We have the electoral materials here but considering the Lagos
situation, traffic and all, we will wait on the national office for
action."
When asked what would happen to votes cast all day, he said: "I
contacted the national office and I was asked to realign with the
position on ground", before admitting that "we may have to reschedule
the exercise".
