The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Ebonyi State, Mr. Stanley Okoro Emegha on Monday blamed the Independent National Electoral Commission,
INEC, for allegedly stepping down the name of the state governor, David Umahi from the shortlisted APC senatorial candidates.
He said, “I went there, it was a minor error from the INEC side and it has been corrected. There was nothing like that, the governor’s name did not come, it wasn’t coming from the party, and the necessary things were done. The stepping down of the two candidates that contested for that senatorial election was there with the party and INEC.
“And then, a panel was set up at the national secretariat Abuja and they arrived. we took them to Afikpo which is the venue for such conduct, they did all the necessary things, and the delegates that were supposed to participate in the primaries were all there. “Anybody carrying any news is carrying it on their own. But I went to Abuja, I called them and asked them why I’m seeing and hearing such stories on social media, they traced it and saw where it was coming from and it was immediately corrected.
