The National Working Committee (NWC) panel in charge of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary election in Lagos state has dissociated itself from the ongoing exercise.
The committee opposed the option A4 mode used in the election, expressing preference for secret ballot system.
Option A4, still known as open ballot, is a system where voters queue behind the agent or representative of their preferred candidates while secret ballot system is a process where a voter’s choice is confidential.
Members of the party in Lagos State turned out in their numbers at various polling centres on Tuesday to elect the party’s flag bearer in the 2019 governorship election in the state.
A former governor of Lagos State and one of the national leaders of the party, Bola Tinubu, had openly endorsed Mr Jide Sanwo-Olu to contest the governorship seat, citing non-adherence to the developmental blueprint for the state as a reason for his opposition to the incumbent governor, Mr Akinwumi Ambode.
