The All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election in Surulere Federal Constituency was reportedly disrupted following the absence of officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at the scheduled venue.

Party members and delegates who gathered for the exercise were said to have expressed concern over the delay and uncertainty surrounding the conduct of the primary, as electoral officials expected to monitor the process were not present.

The development reportedly created tension among supporters and stakeholders, with some party faithful questioning whether the exercise would proceed as planned.

Sources at the venue said party leaders and organizers engaged in consultations while members awaited further directives regarding the conduct of the primary election.

The incident has added to growing conversations around the conduct of party primaries in parts of the country, especially as political parties continue preparations ahead of upcoming elections.

Neither INEC nor party authorities had issued an official detailed explanation on the situation as of the time the report emerged.
