Late arrival and alleged hijack of election materials disrupted the All Progressives Congress National Assembly primaries in parts of Benue State on Saturday.
It was gathered that election materials meant for some federal constituencies, including Makurdi/Guma and Gwer East/Gwer West, were allegedly hijacked during distribution at the party secretariat in Makurdi.
Sources within the party told our correspondent that the incident affected the smooth conduct of the primaries in several areas.
One of the party chieftains, who spoke on condition of anonymity, alleged that some of the materials were taken away by suspected party members loyal to the state government.
“You know that the election materials were distributed at the party secretariat in Makurdi with only the faction loyal to Governor Alia present at the venue.
