By Mosunmola Ayobami, Ilorin

The new Kwara APC Governorship Primary Election Committee has confirmed that the party’s governorship primary election will now hold on Friday.

The new committee is chaired by former minister and APC chieftain from Lagos State, Musiliu Obanikoro.

Members of the committee met with governorship aspirants at the APC Secretariat in Ilorin, where discussions centred on preparations for the rescheduled primary election.

The state chapter of the party had earlier suspended the exercise midway on Thursday.

Speaking with journalists after the meeting, Senator Obanikoro said the primary election was suspended due to logistical challenges.

He, however, assured party members that all necessary arrangements had been concluded for a fresh primary election to hold across the 193 wards in the state on Friday.
