An All Progressives Congress (APC) aspirant for the Obudu-Bekwarra-Obanliku Federal Constituency of Cross River State, Antonia Agbede-Ally, has alleged that no primary election was conducted in the constituency.

Agbede-Ally made the claim on Tuesday during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’, while reacting to the recently concluded APC House of Representatives primaries across the country.

She said there was confusion ahead of the supposed exercise, alleging that she was not invited to a key meeting held for APC members in the area.

According to her, she later forced her way into the meeting where the Obudu Local Government Area chairman and other stakeholders were present, including the incumbent House of Representatives member for the constituency, Hon. Peter Akpanke.

She further alleged that during the meeting, she was informed that the Cross River State governor had directed party members to support Akpanke, despite other aspirants indicating interest in the race.

Agbede-Ally maintained that no actual election took place, adding that even in her community, voters were reportedly instructed to support Akpanke.
