An All Progressives Congress, APC, aspirant for Obudu-Bekwarra-Obanliku Federal Constituency of Cross River State, Antonia Agbede-Ally, has alleged that there was no primaries in the constituency.
Agbede-Ally made the claim on Tuesday during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’.
She was reacting to the recently concluded primary election for the House of Representatives across the country.
“There was significant chaos before the supposed primaries. A meeting was held for all APC members in the region, but I was not invited.
“I forced my way into the hall, where the Chairman of Obudu LGA and several dignitaries were present, including the incumbent representative for the constituency, Hon Peter Akpanke of the House of Representatives.
“During the meeting, I was told that the Cross River State governor had directed that Hon. Akpanke be supported, despite the fact that I and another aspirant were present and wished to contest.
“No election was held to that effect even in my area my people had confirmed they were directed to vote Peter Akpanke,” she said.
