The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Kwara State Governorship Primaries Committee, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, has assured party members and stakeholders of a free, fair and transparent exercise on Friday.

He said in a statement that materials will be distributed before Jumat prayers, adding that voting will commence simultaneously in all the 16 local governments thereafter.

Obanikoro said the committee is fully prepared to conduct the exercise in strict compliance with the directives of the APC national headquarters and in accordance with established party guidelines.

He disclosed that the committee held a strategic meeting with all governorship aspirants at the APC State Secretariat in Ilorin, the state capital, where they were briefed on the electoral processes.

Obanikoro added that the parley provided an opportunity to address concerns raised by aspirants over an inclusive and transparent process.
He noted that while efforts were made to encourage consensus among aspirants, the committee remained fully prepared to conduct a credible election should consensus not be reached.
He emphasised that the committee is the only body duly authorised by the party and relevant laws to conduct, conclude and report on the primary.
Obanikoro further announced that designated Local Government Election Officers, appointed by the committee across all 16 local government areas of Kwara State, will converge to receive the election materials and commence voting.
He reiterated the committee’s commitment to fairness, transparency, and the party’s overall success, urging all stakeholders to conduct themselves peacefully and in the spirit of unity.
