11 APC aspirants say no guber primary held in Anambra, seek fresh date

Eleven All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirants in Anambra say the governorship primary billed for Saturday did not take place.

George Muoghalu, the spokesperson of the aspirants, addressed the press on behalf of the group on Saturday in Awka, Anambra state capital.

He said that in all the 326 electoral wards of the state, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials and APC team saddled with the responsibility of conducting the primary election were nowhere to be found.

Muoghalu, who is one of the aspirants, said any claim that suggests a primary took place is tantamount to fraud.

Paul Orajiaka and Edozie Madu, two other aspirants, also maintained that there was no election.

The aspirants called on the party leadership to come up with a fresh date for the Anambra primary to ensure that the party beats the deadline in the electoral act.

Other aspirants at the primary election were Johnbosco Onunkwo, Ben Etiaba, Amobi Nwaokafor, Chidozie Nwankwo, Geoffo Onyjegbu, Azuka Okwuosa, among others.
