APC reschedules Ekiti guber primary

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has rescheduled its governorship primary election in Ekiti to Saturday.

The party had earlier fixed the election for Friday after the last exercise ended on an inconclusive note.

In a statement on Thursday, Bolaji Abdullahi, spokesman of the APC, said the new date was fixed after consultation between the party’s national working committee (NWC), aspirants and stakeholders.

“The All Progressives Congress (APC) has rescheduled the Ekiti governorship primary election for Saturday, May 12, 2018. Time: 8am prompt,” it read.

“This followed consultation between the APC national working Committee (NWC), aspirants and other stakeholders.”

Kayode Fayemi, minister of mines and steel development; Babafemi Ojudu, an aide of President Muhammadu Buhari; and Segun Oni, APC deputy chairman (south), are among those seeking to fly the party’s flag at the governorship election.
