APC; Edo Guber Primary declared inconclusive 

The National Working Committee(NWC )of the All Progressives Congress(APC) has declared the Governorship Primary Election conducted last Saturday in Edo state inconclusive.

Late on Tuesday after an emergency meeting of the NWC, the decision was made.

Addressing newsmen after the meeting, which lasted for about three hours, APC spokesman, Felix Morka, said; “The NWC resolves that the Edo State governorship primary election has not been completed and has now fixed Thursday, February 22, 2024, for the completion of the APC primary election process.”

He declined further media inquiries.

Local Government returning officers for the primary election, led by Babatunde Ojo had on Saturday declared Anamero Dekeri, a serving House of Representatives member, winner of the exercise.

The development came after the Chairman of the Primary Election Committee and Imo state Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma had declared another federal lawmaker, Dennis Idahosa, winner of the exercise.

On his part, returning Officer of the exercise, Stanley Ugboaja had declared Senator Monday Okpebholo as winner.

The three “candidates” had since demanded that the NWC issue them a Certificate of Return.
