Suspected Thugs Halt APC House of Reps Primary in Ondo State Secretariat

The announcement of APC House of Representatives primary results in Ondo State was abruptly stopped when suspected political thugs stormed the party’s state secretariat in Akure. The interruption took place during the collation exercise following Saturday’s primaries. Fearing violence, the state party chairman and executives, electoral officials, delegates, and supporters slipped out through a back exit. Security operatives also evacuated the seven-member National Assembly Primary Election Committee chaired by Hon. Iboroma Harry Dabibi. Eyewitnesses say the group demanded an immediate halt to result announcements. One source, speaking to a local news outlet, claimed a disqualified aspirant may have mobilised supporters to disrupt the process. No official evidence has been released. Despite the disturbance, the election committee released final results early Monday. The incident highlights deepening tensions and security concerns within party primaries ahead of upcoming elections.
