Ahead of the forthcoming governorship election in Ondo state, the National Working Committee of the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC) has constituted a nine-man committee to oversee the party’s primary election for aspirants.

APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, revealed this disclosed in a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja.

The statement reads, “By a resolution adopted at its 144th meeting held on March 6, 2024, the National Working Committee of our great party constituted a governorship primary election committee of its members for the smooth running of election processes in Ondo State.”

The development comes barely a day after 15 members of the Ondo State House of Assembly, including the Speaker, Olamide Oladiji, endorsed the governor of the state, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, to clinch the party ticket and win the November 2024 governorship election.

The primary election committee members comprised only the APC NWC members, including Emma Eneukwu (Chairman), Festus Fuanter, Victor Giadom, Prof. Abdulkarim Kana, Sulaiman M. Argungu, Dr. Mary Alile Idele, Aare Durotolu Bankole, Nze Chidi Duru and Morka.
