From Desmond Mgbrun, Kano
Aspirants in the Kano State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) have rejected the party’s purported primaries, insisting that the exercise was irregular and was not sanctioned by the original members of the party in the state.
The aggrieved aspirants said they were made to obtain nomination forms at exorbitant rates, and complained that the purported primary election was conducted secretly.
Addressing journalists in Kano on Tuesday, they urged the national leadership of the party to intervene and restore sanity.
