Checking out 'Bello trying to manipulate delegate list, aspirants allege' on The Nation Newspaper Community:
Some of the aspirants for Thursday’s governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress in Kogi state have accused the state governor, Yahaha Bello of trying to manipulate the list of delegates for the primary election.
Sources close to some of the aspirants told The Nation that they have information that the governor was working with some unnamed officials at the national Secretariat to alter the delegates list because of fears that some of them may not vote for him. According to the APC electoral guidelines for the conduct of indirect primaries, only officials of the party from the ward, local government and state constitute delegates for the primary election scheduled to hold in Lokoja on Thursday.
Aside the party officials who constitute delegates, there are also statutory delegates made up of members of the state and National Assembly as well as national officials from the state. The source showed The Nation a document they obtained from INEC which was supposedly transmitted to the commission on July 24, containing names of the delegates for the primary.
