The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress Kwara State Governorship Primary Election Committee, Musiliu Obanikoro, has assured party members and stakeholders of a free, fair and transparent primary today.
The inability of the APC leadership to secure a consensus arrangement forced the postponement of the party’s governorship primary in Kwara, which had earlier been scheduled to hold alongside those of other states on Thursday.
However, in a statement on Thursday, the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, announced that the governorship primaries in Kwara and Bauchi states had been shifted to Friday (today), while the State House of Assembly primaries for Maradun I and Maradun II constituencies in Zamfara were rescheduled for Sunday, May 24.
Speaking on modalities for the Kwara exercise, Obanikoro, in a statement on Friday morning, said electoral materials would be distributed before Juma’at prayers, adding that voting would commence simultaneously in all 16 local government areas thereafter.
He said designated Local Government Election Officers appointed by the committee across the 16 local government areas of Kwara State would converge to receive election materials and commence the voting process accordingly.
