AHEAD of the governorship elections, billed to hold on June 21 and August 9, 2014, in Ekiti and Osun States respectively, the All Progressives Congress (APC) will today hold its primaries to elect the candidates to represent the party in the elections in the two states. Speaking on the primary election in Ekiti State, a statement signed by the National Organising Secretary of the party, Senator Osita Izunaso, noted that APC would adopt the direct primary method in all the 177 wards of the state, and that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) would monitor the entire process from the Ward to the State level. This, according to him, is in keeping with the Electoral Act, which stipulated the conduct of primaries for the emergence of party candidates for both the governorship and presidential elections in the country. Izunaso, who led a six-man committee from Abuja to oversee the exercise, said the party would deploy two electoral officers and a returning officer to each of the wards for the exercise, while a returning officer would be appointed for each local government.
