On Wednesday, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State announced a slight adjustment in the schedule of its primary for all chairmanship and councilorship aspirants who had been cleared to participate in the exercise.
According to a statement issued by the Publicity Secretary of Oyo APC, Mr Olawale Sadare, the primary earlier scheduled for this Friday and next Monday will now take place.
In the new schedule, primaries in all the wards and local government areas in both Oyo Central and Oyo North Senatorial districts will be held on Friday, while all the wards and local government areas in Oyo South will be held next Monday.
The statement reiterated the party’s adoption of a direct primary mode to accommodate all registered party members in the decision to pick candidates.
“On the day of the primary, delegates are expected to gather at the designated venue in each ward and undertake the accreditation process, which shall be followed by a headcount of delegates found in the queue behind each aspirant or their recognised agent, while the aspirant with the simple majority would be declared the winner by the relevant official deployed for the exercise by the party,” the statement held.
The party added that the rescheduling was also necessitated by the need to effectively handle the overwhelming number of aspirants that obtained Expression of Interest forms across wards and local government areas of the state.
