Why APC Postponed Kwara Guber Primary – Obanikoro

The chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primaries in Kwara State, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro on Thursday said the state governorship primaries was postponed till Friday due to logistic issues.

Obanikoro disclosed this at the party’s secretariat in Ilorin while speaking with newsmen shortly after meeting with the APC governorship aspirants behind closed doors.

“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,” he said.

Obanikoro said the committee is ready and the election will hold on Friday across the state.

Ten governorship aspirants attended the strategic meeting on Thursday evening.

Those in attendance included: AmbassadorYahaya Seriki, Dr Bashir Bolarinwa, Prof. Wale Sulaiman, Engr. Femi Sanni, Dr Tajudeen Alabi, Aisha Ahmad-Pategi, Mohammed Bio; Musiliat Bello- Adebowale, Dr Muideen Salako and Captain Ahmad Mahmoud

Obanikoro called on all the aspirants to see the victory of anyone among them as a collective victory for the success of the party.

“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.
