The much-expected primaries of All Progressives Congress,
(APC), to elect candidates to run in the July 22 Local Government elections
failed to hold yesterday.
It was observed that party
secretariats in selected local government areas (LGAs) and local council
development areas, (LCDAs) visited that no exercise was taking place.
For instance, at the APC secretariat at Orile-Agege LCDA,
along Ipaja Road, Mulero, the entrance to the building was locked as was the
situation at Ojokoro, Oke Odo and Ojodu LCDA as well as Agege, Ifako/Ijaiye and
Mainland LGAs, among others.
A councillorship aspirant in Orile-Agege LCDA who will not
want his name mentioned told Daily Trust on Sunday that the decision not to
hold the primaries was taken at the last stakeholders meeting held at the
state’s party secretariat at Acme road, Ogba.
“When the National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
addressed us at the stakeholders’ meeting, he insisted he was worried with
reports of violence in some local governments,” he explained.
When was contacted on phone, the state APC Publicity
Secretary, Joe Igbokwe, said although he was currently in Abuja, he was not
aware that the primaries would be taking place at the state secretariat but at
APC LGA secretariats.
