Residents and various politicians in the Ibarapa region of Oyo State have canceled the APC Primary election that was meant to be held in the Ibarapa region today after it was discovered that one of the aspirants, Hon. Muraina, purportedly sent fake delegate lists.
Crisis ensued after both the aspirants and the Local Government Party Chairmen demanded to know the names of persons on the delegate list after which the Electoral Officials declined. This led to the aspirants and party Chairmen resolved that no voting will commence except that the officials paste the names of the delegates.
Our source reported that “this misunderstanding led to Electoral officials forcing their ways outside of the proposed venue and they met fierce resistance and violence from the supporters”.
One of the APC Youth leaders explained that the alleged irregularity was “exposed after the APC members demanded to see and cross-check the names of delegates sent and those that are you vote, which met fierce resistance from Muraina and other Party leaders.”
“The consequence of this was that the primary election was canceled at both the Ibarapa Central and Ibarapa North Constituency.”
Policemen and Party chieftains were later seen pursuing the alleged fake delegates, seizing the bus which they came with and other confidential documents.
Meanwhile, rumor has it that Hon. Muraina is currently finding his way with INEC officials.
