APC senatorial primary: I will go to court, Tinubu will intervene — Nwoko

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ned Nwoko, has vowed to challenge the result of the party’s senatorial primary in court.

Speaking during an interview on Arise Television, Nwoko insisted that he won the exercise based on results and evidence allegedly gathered from the wards.

He rejected the declaration of former Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa as the winner of the senatorial primary, alleging that the results announced did not reflect the actual votes cast during the exercise.

According to him, midway into the primary, party officials ordered that no results should be announced at the ward level.

He alleged that the party officials equally instructed that they be collated and announced later at the national headquarters in Abuja.

“We have submitted them. Halfway through the primary, we got a message on our phones that no results should be announced at the ward level that they should be collected and then announced later at the national level in Abuja.

“And so, we thought we’d be law-abiding. Suddenly, we saw some news. We saw only that one video of one of the wards in Ika North East. I will go to court and I believe that President Bola Tinubu will wade into the matter,” he said.
