An online media had last week quoted impeccable sources within the presidency who it said confirmed that the ruling party has moved back its presidential primary election to hold between 28 and May 30, instead of the original date of May 30 to June 1, 2022.
But in a statement issued by the party’s national publicity secretary, Barr Felix Morka, APC described the report as fake news.
Morka noted that the party’s timetable/schedule of activities for the 2023 elections remain as earlier published.
According to him, the governorship primary election will hold on -Friday, 20th of May, 2022 while that of the state House of Assembly will take place on Sunday, 22nd of May, 2022.
He added that the primary election for House of Representatives is scheduled for Tuesday, May 24, 2022, while that of Senate is expected to take place on Wednesday, May 25, 2022.
Stating that the party’s presidential convention will hold from Monday, May 30 to June, 2022, Morka noted that in the event where an adjustment becomes necessary, such changes would be communicated via the party’s communication channels.
