Some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have complained that the Lagos governorship primary election was not free and fair.
The primary election held on Tuesday, October 2, 2018 across various wards in the state.
According to a video posted, some party members from Shomolu said that party leaders beat up those supporting the Lagos state Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode.
A woman who said her name is Oluwabunmi Adetola told newsmen that nobody was allowed to vote.
You will recall that Ambode had earlier called on the APC National Working Committee (NWC) members to ensure that the primaries are free and fair.
The Lagos state Governor is contesting with Babjide Sanwo-Olu, the anointed candidate of the APC in Lagos state.
Meanwhile, the NWC panel that supervised the Lagos state primaries had nullified the election.
Speaking to newsmen, the chairman of the panel, Chief Clement Ebri, said “The preparatory process had just been concluded for the primaries. The primary is to begin anytime soon.
“There was no election. Election materials are being sorted.
“The stage is set and election begins anytime from now. We have guidelines and we will stick to the guidelines.
“Because of the political tension in the state, we decided to be very careful, very methodical. As party men, peace is more important to us than victory.
