SPOTTED: Has APC Lost Sense Of Time?

In a letter of notice sent to INEC, APC said its presidential primary would hold on Saturday, September 19, 2018, while the primary to elect flag-bearers to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives would hold on Wednesday, September 19, 2018. It is unclear if APC would hold both primaries on September 19, 2018, which is a Wednesday, or on separate days.

It would seem there is some confusion regarding dates for the scheduled primaries of the All Progressive Congress (APC).

In a letter of notice sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), APC said its presidential primary would hold on Saturday, September 19, 2018, while the primary to elect flag-bearers to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives would hold on Wednesday, 19th of September, 2018.

It is unclear if APC would hold both primaries on September 19, 2018, which is a Wednesday, or on separate days.

The letter, dated August 17, 2018, was signed by Adams Oshiomhole, the party’s National Chairman, and bore the stamp indicating receipt by the electoral commission.

In a similar but separate incident, the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigeria Police Force invited a reporter with the PremiumTimes for questioning, with a wrongly dated letter, signed by an Assistant Commissioner of Police.
