The All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election for Badagry Constituencies I and II in the Lagos State House of Assembly has been suspended.
Gafar Meyon, the Chairman of APC in Badagry Local Government, disclosed this in an interview with journalists on Wednesday.
According to him, after waiting several hours for the materials and APC staff, who never arrived, directives came from the party’s state chairman, Cornelius Ojelabi, to suspend the exercise.
“During Saturday’s primary, there were complaints that some election officials were friends of one of the aspirants.
“Then it was suggested that they should be changed ahead of today’s primary.
“So, those staff were sent to Surulere to conduct the election, while those in Surulere were expected to come and conduct the primary in Badagry.
“After waiting for several hours, we contacted the Lagos APC Chairman to brief him on the situation. He then ordered that the election be suspended until a later date.
“We have informed the aspirants to tell their supporters to leave all the wards till further notice,” he said.
