NWC cancels Lagos APC primaries held today

The National Working Committee, NWC of the All Progressive Congress sent from Abuja to monitor the party’s governorship primary in Lagos State has nullified the exercise held across the 20 local government areas of the state on Tuesday, Punch reports.

The Chairman of the committee, Mr. Clement Ebri, who addressed the press around 4.30pm at Protea Hotel, Alausa, said the election could not have held because the committee was still expecting the list of representatives of one of the two aspirants.

The primary is being contested by Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the state Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode.
Ebri, however, did not mention the camp that defaulted on the modalities for the election.

The APC primaries for the governorship position which was earlier held today in the state saw the contender Babajide Sanwo-Olu defeat the incumbent governor Akinwunmi Ambode in a very wide margin, which so many political analyst described as the worst defeat a sitting governor has ever received in his own party.
