APC suspends primary election in Badagry

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended the primary election for Badagry constituencies I and II in the Lagos State House of Assembly.

Mr Gafar Meyon, the Chairman of APC in Badagry Local Government, revealed the decision during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday.

He said that after waiting several hours for the required materials and APC staff who never arrived, directives from the party’s state Chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, came to suspend the exercise.

“During Saturday’s primary, there were complaints that some election officials were friends of one of the aspirants. Then it was suggested that they should be changed for today’s primary. So, those staff were sent to Suru‑lere to conduct the election while those in Suru‑lere were expected to come and conduct the primary in Badagry. After waiting for several hours, we contacted the Lagos APC Chairman to brief him on the situation. He then ordered that the election be suspended until a later date. We have informed the aspirants to tell their supporters to leave all the wards till further notice,” he said.
