PDP postpones primaries in Kwara

The Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kwara State, Yemi Afolayan, has announced the postponement of the party’s chairmanship and councillorship primaries scheduled for August 26 and 27.
Afolayan announced this during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, on Thursday.
Although a new date had not been fixed, he explained that the postponement was to give the party enough room for consultation with its rank and file.
He said the move was also to ensure that things were done properly.
The secretary noted that the Kwara State Independent Electoral Commission had fixed a new date for submission of nomination forms by candidates.
“This gives PDP room to take necessary steps toward sustaining internal democracy among the aspirants,” he said.
Afolayan added that the party was putting necessary arrangements in place to ensure its victory at the polls.
