The All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives primary election held in Lagos Mainland on Saturday was thrown into controversy following allegations of widespread irregularities, voter intimidation, and disruption of the electoral process across several voting centres.
The aggrieved delegates spoke in separate interviews with correspondents of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), who covered the election on Saturday in Lagos.
The disruption was reported in areas including Apapa Road, Makoko, Iwaya, Adekunle, and Old Yaba Road, where party members and delegates allegedly faced intimidation and were prevented from participating freely in the exercise.
Kazeem Omolaja and Abdulhakeem Animashaun vied for the position.
NAN reports that the development created tension and confusion, as aggrieved members accused some party leaders of attempting to manipulate the process in favour of a preferred candidate.
