Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Assembly Primaries Appeal Committee for Delta State, Chukwuemeka Ujam, on Tuesday, disclosed that the committee has received five petitions arising from the party’s recently concluded National Assembly primaries in the state.
Ujam, who spoke with journalists at the APC secretariat in Asaba, said the committee was already reviewing petitions submitted by aggrieved party members and stakeholders over the conduct of the exercises.
He explained that the five-member panel was in Delta State in line with the provisions guiding the conduct of the APC primary elections.
According to him, the committee first arrived in the state on Sunday, shortly after the House of Representatives primaries and later reconvened following the senatorial district primaries to continue its assignment.

“We have been receiving petitions and we will prepare our reports later. The process is still ongoing because the day is not yet over,” he said.
On the outcome of the senatorial primaries in the state, Ujam clarified that the committee’s mandate is strictly limited to examining complaints relating to the conduct of the primaries.
“As we receive the petitions, we are already reviewing them and making our notes on each one. But you do not expect me to divulge what we are doing,” he stated.
