The immediate past Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State and an aspirant of the party in the forthcoming governorship election in the state, Hon. Isaacs Kekemeke, on Wednesday, called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to shift the date for the conduct of party primaries in the state by one month.

Kekemeke who made this call for extension said the call became imperative to allow politicians in the state to put their house and campaign in order following the disruption and havoc caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.


He stated that INEC was right on its decision to conduct the elections as scheduled, saying going by the electoral laws and the Nigeria constitution, but urged INEC to be flexible to enable politicians to cover lost grounds due to the lockdown occasioned by the outbreak of COVID-19.
