The All Progressives Congress, APC, has written the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to postpone the rerun primary of the party in Akoko Southwest/Southeast federal constituency in view of pending cases before courts on the primary election.
In a letter exclusively sighted by SUNSHINETRUTH reporter at the party’s national secretariat, Abuja, the ruling APC National leadership said it was better to allow courts resolve all the cases before them on the constituency’s primary before going ahead with a fresh primary.
The letter signed by the National Chairman of the party, Adamu Abdullahi and the National Secretary, Iyiola Omisore and dated 24th October, 2022.
The letter addressed to the INEC Chairman indicates that three different cases are pending at the federal high court over the constituency party primary.
The letter reads, “In view of the tact that the sum of the relies, If granted, could obviate significantly the attributes and merits of the conduct of a fresh primary election for now, we request the indulgence of the Commission to postpone the fresh primary in the subject constituency until the matters under reference are judicially dispensed With. We shall keep the Commission informed on the developments in this regard.”
