The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State has postponed its governorship primary earlier scheduled for September 30 to today, October 1.
Mr. Donatus Nwamkpa, the APC Chairman in the state, said the postponement was due to the inability of the National Election Committee members of the party to arrive the state.
He said the state chapter of the party was still awaiting the arrival of the officials who were in possession of election materials.
He said, the primary would now be conducted on October 1 when the officials would have arrived the state.
Meanwhile, Nwamkpa dismissed the allegation that the party had arranged to impose a preferred candidate, adding that all aspirants had equal stake as there was no “anointed candidate’’ as widely speculated.
The chairman assured the aspirants and members of the party that the committee would conduct free and fair exercise.
The aspirants include Mr. Chris Akomas, former Deputy Governor; Mr. Martin Azubuike, former Abia Speaker; and Chief Uche Ogah, a former governorship aspirant.
Other aspirants are Messrs Okey Emuche, Friday Nwosu, Paul Ikonne and Ikechi Emenike.
