APC Postpones House Of Assembly Primary Election

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has
postponed its House of Assembly primary
election earlier scheduled to hold nationwide
on Monday, 1 December, 2014.
According to a statement issued on Sunday, the
opposition party said that the election would now
hold nationwide on Tuesday, 2 December, 2014.
The statement, signed by the APC National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, was made
available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in
Lagos.
It was disclosed that the postponement was to show
respect for those killed or injured in Friday's
terrorist attack in a mosque in Kano.
The statement however, informed that 'all the dates
for other primaries remain unchanged'.
On the bomb blasts that rocked the ancient city of
Kano on Friday, the party described the attack as a
tragedy, adding that it was a condemnable and
totally incomprehensible attack on defenceless
citizens in a hallowed place such as a mosque.
The opposition party urged all Nigerians to
demonstrate the "Nigerian spirit of compassion and
strength of character'' by providing succour and
support for one another.
