The Ondo state governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) earlier scheduled for this weekend has been shifted by the party.
The primary election will now hold on Wednesday in Akure, the Ondo state capital.
Although no official reason was given for the postponement of the primary, The Nation gathered that the exercise may have been shifted to pave way for further reconciliation of the feuding parties in the state.
There has been crisis in the Ondo state chapter of the party over alleged imposition of a particular aspirant which resulted in the national leadership summoning all the aspirants and the party leadership in the state to a meeting.
The party is yet to inaugurate the committee that will conduct the primary election but it was gathered that the committee is likely to be headed by Jigawa state governor, Mohammed Badaru.
24 aspirants, including one woman are contesting the APC primary which has generated lots of heat in the last few days.
