The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday, said the Senator Surajudeen Basiru-led Primary Election Committee for the Imo-North Senatorial District By-Election was the duly appointed and legitimate panel.
Spokesman of the party, Yekini Nabena stated this on Thursday night against the backdrop of media reports of a purported “parallel” primary election for the legislative by-election in Imo State.
According to Nabena, the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led APC Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee duly empowered the Basiru-chaired committee to conduct the exercise.
