The All Progressives Congress has suspended its governorship primary, following an outbreak of violence.
This was made known via a Facebook post by the Special Assistnat Public Communications & New Media at Ekiti State Government of Nigeria, Mr. Lere Olayinka.
It had been gathered earlier that some persons suspected to be thugs had invaded the venue of the primary, where they smashed a ballot box on the ground, scattering the contents.
It was gathered that the attack caught the policemen at the venue by surprise.
The News Agency of Nigeria quoted the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as saying up to 33 candidates are contesting in the governorship primary, out of which one individual will emerge as the APC flag bearer in the governorship election coming up in July.
