The chairmen, at a news briefing late last night, alleged that the SWC, was planning to conduct illegal party primaries into state constituencies and Federal Constituencies in their respective areas, at the secretariat, which was against the party's guidelines sent to them.
The duo of Anifowose and Ojebiyi, specifically, stated that the primaries, in their respective Constituencies, could not hold, due to the discrepancies in the list of delegates, that were signed and stamped by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Headquarters that were initially authenticated and given to them earlier.
According to them, the list earlier given to them, were duly authenticated by all the aspirants in the presence of INEC and security officers but only for the primary officials to bring out another list that has no name on it.
The chairmen, therefore, declared that they would never be part of any exercise, that may take place outside the designated places.
They said, "Our position. Is that the primary for both House of Assembly and House of Representatives positions in our respective Constituencies, did not hold due to disagreements over delegate lists.
"Information at our disposal was that they have gathered at the State Secretariat to conduct the primary, we shall not accept this because any primary conducted outside the designated, venue is illegal and null and void".
The chairmen, appealed to the National Secretariat of the party, to intervene in the matter in the interest of the party.
