According to him, altogether, there are 1109 delegates for today’s governorship primaries, adding that though only one person had returned the forms, all the necessary procedure must be followed in the selection of the candidate of the party. He also explained that officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, were already on ground for the exercise and expressed optimism that there would be hitch free primaries.
Oye said: “I call the shots in APGA and I am the sole signatory to the party’s account. The name, Martin Agbaso, does not exist in any document of APGA and I want the police to arrest him for breaking into my office in Abuja during which money and other vital documents were carted away.”
