Accreditation has commenced for delegates who will be participating at the presidential primary election of All Progressives Congress APC taking place at Eagles Square Abuja on Tuesday (today).
This is even as a reported clash occurred between the delegates and some ad-hoc officials of the party.
Explaining what led to the misunderstanding, Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, said it was caused by some members of the party who attempted to gain entry into the venue without being accredited.
”What makes you a delegate is the collection of tags. Those that caused the confusion claimed that they are delegates but APC state chairman and INEC officials have confirmed those that will be the delegates. They have the authentic list with them.
“We are not out of time, we are working according to the timetable,” he said.
According to the programme of events sighted by our correspondent, voting to elect the presidential candidate of the party will commence today at 6pm while the results are expected to be announced by 10pm.
Timetable of the convention indicates that the address of welcome will be delivered by the national chairman of the party, Abdullahi Adamu, at 3:40pm.
The presidential hopefuls will be allowed to deliver their remarks between 4:45pm and 5:45pm.
After that, President Buhari will deliver his speech at 5:45pm. The delegates will start voting from 6pm to 9pm, while the result will be announced at 10pm.
