It was complaints galore as aggrieved members of the Lagos State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) recounted their harrowing experience during last Saturday’s council primaries
Daily Trust reports that pockets of violence were recorded in some local government areas including Surulere where two people were feared dead.
The election could not hold in Surulere following the violence even as the local government area was allegedly under siege on Saturday as thugs and cultists loyal to some party leaders took control.
But the APC regretted the violence, calling on the security agencies to go after the perpetrators.
Spokesman of the party’s Interim Committee, Hon Seye Oladejo, in a statement, congratulated the party members “on the successful conduct of the primaries to elect candidates for the forthcoming Local Government elections to elect Chairmen, Vice-Chairmen and Councilors into the 20 Local Government Councils, 37 Local Council Development Areas and 377 wards.”
