The All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives primary election for Epe Federal Constituency has been hit by controversy after aspirant BIA Eruobodo formally challenged the results from Ward M1, citing alleged irregularities that marred the voting process.
According to reports emerging from the collation centre, Eruobodo raised serious objections and staged a protest over what he described as questionable actions that compromised the integrity of the exercise in that ward. The aspirant argued that the irregularities undermined the credibility of the entire primary process.
The protest created tension among supporters and party stakeholders gathered at the venue. Electoral officials were forced to review complaints and reports concerning the conduct of the exercise in Ward M1 amid heightened emotions.
Following thorough deliberations among party officials, the election process in the ward was eventually nullified, pending further directives from the party’s national leadership. Security personnel and party stakeholders intervened to restore calm, urging all aspirants and their supporters to remain peaceful while allowing due process to take its course.
The incident has become a major topic of discussion within the constituency, shaping perceptions of the primary election outcome across Epe.
