The governorship primary election of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Oyo State failed to hold today at the Liberty Stadium, Ibadan.

While no concrete reason was given for the inability to hold the election as scheduled, our correspondent gathered that it was postponed as a result of non-delegates thronging the primary venue.
