Delegates who turned out to participate in the Edo State Governorship primaries of the All Progressives Congress in Oredo Ward 12 were locked out of the Party’s Secretariat due to non-payment of rent. As early as 8am, the delegates were at the Secretariat along Forestry Road, Benin City, and landlord of the house told them that the party was owing him two years rent arrears, insisting that he will not open the place for them until his rent is paid. Owing to the development, the Acting ward chairman, Hon. Ernest Edebiri, led them to the house of the former Ward Chairman few houses away from the Secretariat. The former Ward Chairman, PA. Erhunmwunsee, led the delegates back to the Party’s Secretariat, but when it became obvious that the landlord was not willing to shift his grounds, the delegates and Officials for the Edo State primary election started to disperse.
