The youths of Anambra chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC have protested attempts by the leadership of the party to hold a nocturnal primary election for one out of the two aspirants contesting the ticket of the party for the Anambra Central Senatorial election.

 

Though happenings at the Olivia Montage Hotel venue of the primary election are all shrouded in secrecy, as no member of the executive has accepted to address journalists or even party supporters.

 

The arrival of Barr Mrs Sharon Ikeazor, one of the aspirants has flagged off a floozy of activities, with some members immediately preparing to start accreditation, which sparked off protests by the youths of the party.

 

Ikeazor has on arrival been followed by her supporters who sang her praise, band converged in one of the hall in the hotel, but she bluntly refused requests by her supporters to address them.

 

Hon Ebele Obi, a former member of the Anambra State House of Assembly who spoke on her behalf assured members of the party that she will emerge as the candidate of the party at the end of the day as loose ends were being knotted.

 

He said, “This is the one we know, she has remained our own and we can always vouch for her. She is very qualified for the job, and we will support her for this election. She will win the primaries and also go ahead to win the election.

 

“We are all insisting on a primary election, but it will be a walk over for her, and we are very confident of that.” Obi said.

 

True to his word, almost immediately, arrangement started for accreditation, but the youths insisted that the party has two aspirants, and as such, a primary election can not be held for just one of them.

 

They stoutly resisted, asking anyone who was planning to go on with the election without Mrs Ekwunife should not do so in the interest of the party.
