The All Progressives Congress,  APC, lagos is yet to release results of its primaries held over 48 hours ago across the state due to reported cases of electoral violence in some Local government areas.

Many have continued to express their displeasure and disappointment at the conduct of the primaries with some calling for the immediate invalidation and outright  cancellation of results following recorded reports of violence, vote buying and other forms of electoral malpractice(s).

While the election was adjudged not to be free, fair, peaceful, credible and orderly, in a petition to Chief Tunde Balogun, the Lagos State APC Chairman, Prince Kunle Dosumu, the party agent to Mr. Ibrahim Balogun, one of the chairmanship aspirants of Amuwo Odofin LG said,  any purported results deemed as the outcome of the primaries in Amuwo Odofin, is and could best be described as a charade and scam thus the need and the call for the immediate invalidation and outright cancellation such election results and/or announcement of such candidates as winners.

“We conclude that the conducts of the electoral officers and security operatives can best be described as frustrating, provocative, conniving and complicit which undermined the free and credible processes that the primaries election was designed and meant to achieve. We thus called for the rescheduling and conduct of another primaries election”.

Earlier in the week the APC Lagos had regretted and apologised over the cases of violence, skirmishes promising to investigate.
