A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and aspirant for Ekiti North Senatorial District ticket, Senator Ayodele Arise, has faulted the recent primaries of the ruling party, saying it’s a sham that casts aspersion on the nation’s democracy.

The APC Committee, which supervised the process, had declared the incumbent lawmaker, Senator Cyril Fasuyi, as the winner.
