APC Postpones House Of Assembly Primary Election

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has postponed
its House of Assembly primary election earlier
scheduled to hold nationwide on Monday, 1
December, 2014.
According to a statement issued on Sunday, the
opposition party said that the election would now hold
nationwide on Tuesday, 2 December, 2014.
The statement, signed by the APC National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, was made available
to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
It was disclosed that the postponement was to show
respect for those killed or injured in Friday’s terrorist
attack in a mosque in Kano.
The statement however, informed that ‘all the dates for
other primaries remain unchanged’.
On the bomb blasts that rocked the ancient city of Kano
on Friday, the party described the attack as a tragedy,
adding that it was a condemnable and totally
incomprehensible attack on defenceless citizens in a
hallowed place such as a mosque.
The opposition party urged all Nigerians to demonstrate
the “Nigerian spirit of compassion and strength of
character’’ by providing succour and support for one
another.
