Violent coupled with heavy rain fall led to the cancellation of Ekiti All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship Primary.The cancellation of the exercise was announced on Saturday by the Chairman of the Organising Committee, Governor Tanko Al Makura of Nasarawa State.
He gave the directive as the venue of the event, the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium, Ado-Ekiti became hot and charged for any reasonable exercise to be conducted. Armed men had shot sporadically into the air after some hoodlums smashed some ballot boxes being used for the exercise.
Tension arose when people started shouting that they did not want former Governor Kayode Fayemi as the party’s candidate.
Also, hot exchanges took place between Fayemi and another aspirant, Dr Mrs Yayaha Kolade over some issues. They called each other unprintable names.
Earlier in the day, violent storm that accompanied a heavy rainfall virtually destroyed the canopies erected inside the stadium to serve as polling units.No date has been announced for the continuation of the exercise.
Delegates from about seven councils had voted out of the 16 councils in the state.
