The All Progressives Congress has promised a fair, open, and transparent primary election on April 20 ahead the forthcoming Ondo state governorship election.
The governorship election is scheduled to hold on November 16, 2024.
The party said this at the conclusion of the submission of the expression of interest and nomination forms by the 16 aspirants at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja over the weekend.
The APC Deputy National Organising Secretary, Nze Chidi Duru, gave the assurance.
He said, “Edo has become a test case. They know that the party is resolute in determining, through a process that is free, who the candidate of the party would be.
“The few who felt they would need to go to court as we would always expect, there was three sixty-degree turnaround.
“They came to the negotiation table, had a handshake and now we have a very formidable team, and we believe that APC would win Edo state, and if we trust that APC would win Edo state, we have confidence that APC will win Ondo State.”
