The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has postponed the governorship primary election that took place in Lagos State on Tuesday.

Chairman of the Primary Election Committee, Clement Ebri,  said a “fresh time and date for the election will be announced later”.

Ebri said the committee  got the list of the party agents of one of the aspirants in the race barely an hour ago.

He said all materials meant for the election were still in their custody, so election could not have held.

“We reached out to the party executives to submit  the list that would be utilized for the purpose of posting officials to supervise the elections. That list only arrived about an hour ago and so anything that was done without the list that we wanted … because we wanted harmony, so we waited for them. We waited for about 10 hours without getting anything.

“There is no way we could have gone ahead to do anything. It is only fair that if you don’t see one party you wait and that is what has brought us to this point.

“We gave them (party executive) an appointment and at the meeting we all discussed some of these modalities and asked them to bring the names of these agents so that we could use for this exercise but we received from a party just an hour ago,” he said.
