The National Assembly Primaries Appeal Committee of the All Progressives Congress for Delta State has called on aggrieved aspirants and party members to formally submit complaints arising from Saturday’s House of Representatives primary elections conducted across the state.
The committee said the move was part of efforts to strengthen the party’s internal democratic process and ensure fairness, transparency and credibility following the direct primaries that produced candidates for the 10 federal constituencies in Delta State.
According to a statement issued on Sunday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, Festus Ahon, the Chairman of the committee, Mr Chukwuemeka Ujam, said “the party leadership remains committed to a transparent and credible process free from interference.”
Ujam explained that “all petitions, appeals and complaints relating to the conduct of the primaries would receive due attention in accordance with the party’s constitution, guidelines and democratic principles.”
According to him, the appeal process “provides an opportunity for dissatisfied aspirants and stakeholders to seek redress through established party mechanisms, while also helping to preserve unity within the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections.”
The committee urged party faithful to channel their grievances through peaceful and lawful means, assuring that every petition would be treated fairly and objectively.
