By People’s Voice | News
Amid the widespread controversy rocking the Ondo State All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election, Kogi State Governor and Chairman of Ondo governorship election committee, Usman Ahmed Ododo, is set to declare winner of the Saturday’s poll.
Governor Ododo will be declaring the winner of the poll alongside members of the committee who arrived at the collation centre in preparation for the official announcement.
Recall that Ododo had earlier explained reasons for declaring the Saturday election inconclusive.
Ododo, in a statement issued on Sunday said the late arrival of materials and personnel to 13 wards in Okitipupa council area of state, the All Progressive Congress Governorship Primary Election Committee, necessitated the rescheduling of the exercise on Sunday.
He stated, “the rerun election would take place in all the 13 wards of Okitipupa Local Government with the total number of 9,515 validated registered party members.
According to him, this is because of validated reports that the exercise did not hold in the Local government due to late arrival of materials and personnel as a result of logistics challenges.
