2019: Oshiomhole Faults INEC On Zamfara Primary, Vows To Present Candidates

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has faulted the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for declaring that the party is not ineligible to present candidates for the Governorship and National Assembly elections in Zamfara State, on the basis that primary elections were not held.

In a letter to the INEC today, Wednesday, Oshiomhole said that the electoral management body acted in error by taking decision to bar the APC from presenting candidates on a false premise.

The APC chairman said that contrary to INEC claims, primaries were held in the state and candidates emerged.

He insisted that the party would present candidates for the 2019 governorship and national assembly elections and would do so before the expiration of the INEC date for the submission of names of candidates.
