The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, has disowned the result announced by the State Governorship Primary Election Committee Chairman, Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo state.
Uzodimma had announced Denis Idahosa winner of the APC governorship primary election in Edo, while the chief returning officer for the primary, Dr. Stanley Ugboajah, declared Senator Monday Okpebholo as winner of the same election.
Felix Morka, the ruling party’s National Publicity Secretary, had also in a statement in Abuja Saturday night, insisted that the Uzodinma-led Edo State APC Governorship Primary Committee was duly authorized to undertake final collation and announcement of results of the primary in the state.
But, countering Morka’s statement, the state Publicity Secretary, Prince Peter Enosoregbe Uwadiae, disagreed with his national counterpart, insisting that being on the ground, he is in a better position to explain the reality of the situation., which, of course, clearly favoured Senator Monday “Akpakomiza” Okpebholo.
