APC postpones governorship primaries in Lagos, Imo to Monday

The All Progressives Congress has shifted its governorship primary elections in Lagos and Imo states to Monday.

People have to be in church on Sunday, so we have rescheduled until Monday unfailingly.

“There are other issues around logistics, but everything would be done by Monday,” Igbokwe also said.

The announcement comes amid stiff contest for the ruling party’s governor ticket between incumbent Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode and Jide Sanwo-Olu.

Sanwo-Olu reportedly received the endorsement of 36 out of the state’s 40 lawmakers on Sunday afternoon, while another governorship aspirant and challenger, Babatunde Hamzat, stepped down for him.

The primaries earlier scheduled to hold on Sunday were shifted in both states for logistic reasons.

The National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole said this in Abuja on Saturday while inaugurating the 21-member National Convention Committee headed by the Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi.
