The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primaries in Kwara State, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, has disclosed that the scheduled Kwara governorship primaries were postponed till Friday due to logistical issues.
He stated this while addressing newsmen at the party’s secretariat in Ilorin.
He added that it is only fair that the primaries be postponed in order to achieve a good outcome.
“We postponed the election due to logistic issues. We came in late and we needed to be fair to all and to be able to have an effective management of the election, we needed a full day to do that,” Obanikoro said.
Recall that NewsWatch Nigeria had previously reported that the APC governorship primaries, earlier scheduled for Thursday, was abruptly postponed till Friday.
Speaking on the development, Obanikoro assured that the committee is ready and the election will be held tomorrow (Friday) across the state.
Obanikoro called on all the aspirants to see the victory of any of them as a collective victory for the party’s success.
Ten governorship aspirants attended the strategic meeting on Thursday evening following the postponement.
Those in attendance included: Ambassador Abdulfatai Yahaya Seriki (MFR); Dr Bashir Omolaja Bolarinwa; Prof. Wale Sulaiman; Engr Femi Sanni; Dr Tajudeen Alabi; Aisha Ahmad-Patigi; Mohammed Bio; Musiliat Yetunde Adebowale; Dr Muideen Salako; and Captain Ahmad Mahmoud.
“We should see victory belonging to one as belonging to all. Nobody should take victory of a member of his family as something against his personal interest, if it is true that the interest of the party is supreme.
“It is a family meeting. I am a member of APC from Lagos and I am here to have a conversation with members of APC family. On this particular day, we met on the issue of governorship primaries coming up tomorrow and we sat down to have a frank conversation with ourselves that we are all members of one family,” Obanikoro added.
