Delayed arrival of electoral officials stalled Wednesday’s All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries for the Lagos State House of Assembly in parts of the state, as party members and aspirants waited for hours amid tight security.
At Ward A, Lagos Mainland Constituency, party faithfuls gathered early at Herbert Macaulay Primary School, Adekunle, Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH), but the exercise had not begun as of noon due to the absence of officials.
A Ward A leader, Segun Oshile, said members, including elderly supporters, arrived early in anticipation of a peaceful and orderly exercise.
“We are still awaiting the arrival of party officials. As soon as they come, they will unveil the plans for today,” Mr Oshile said.
He expressed confidence that the exercise would proceed peacefully and urged party members to remain orderly and law-abiding.
