He said: “I have received reports from our committee members and security agencies as well as NGOs monitoring the election including video footages and I can say that the process has been transparent and we are going to produce a candidate that will unify the APC ahead of the November, 2024 governorship election in the State.”

In addition, he expressed confidence that the issues identified in the revalidated membership list would not significantly affect the primary election’s outcome. He emphasized that the committee is directed by the APC’s guidelines for candidate nomination for general elections as well as pertinent provisions of the Electoral Act, 2022.
