Following the postponement of the
primary election of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State slated
for Thursday, July 19, DAILY POST reports that the party has announced a new
date for the exercise, which would now hold on Friday, July 20.
A statement issued and signed by
the Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy of the party in the state,
Barrister Kunle Oyatomi, said the postponement was due to unforeseen
development.
“Due to unforeseen development,

However, the party’s National
Publicity Secretary, Malam Bolaji Abdullahi, in another statement late
Wednesday, said the Osun Congress Committee headed by Zamfara state governor,
Abdulaziz Yari, would meet with the stakeholders of the party on Thursday and
that the primaries had been moved to Friday.
He said: ”The All Progressives
