The African Action Congress (AAC) has expressed satisfaction over the peaceful and transparent conduct of its local government primary election in Lagos State, describing the exercise as successful and encouraging for the party’s grassroots structure.
In an exclusive interview with the party’s Lagos State Chairman, Ayoyinka Oni, the AAC leader confirmed that the primary election held in the state proceeded smoothly, with no reports of irregularities or disputes.
“It went well as expected. It was a good experience for all and especially our new members,” Oni said. “We started the day with membership registration and renewal of the party card. Delegates were confirmed and registered. It was a straightforward primary since all contestants came unopposed.”
Oni attributed the seamless process to the party’s strategic preparation and commitment to internal democracy. According to him, “The secret is making sure the wards had perfected all their delegates before getting to the state. We confirmed their membership and then provided them with delegate tags before our primaries were conducted.”
He further revealed that any potential issues were proactively handled at the grassroots level, which contributed to the calm and orderliness observed during the primary.
“No report of irregularities,” Oni stated. “All members that became candidates yesterday were screened by their local government areas even before they got to the state. Whatever issues must have been settled at the local government level before the day of the primary. We had a smooth process.”
With the successful completion of the primaries, the AAC is now shifting focus to the campaign phase. “We look forward to the campaign as we tell our people to vote for our great party at local government areas,” Oni concluded.
Party members have also expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the primary election, with many sending congratulatory messages to the candidates. One of the party members, Hungbeme Moses Wanayon, wrote in a statement:
“Congratulations to all leaders and candidates for a successful Lagos AAC primary election. Now the real work is on us all. We must go out there to campaign rigorously, both online and within our communities. E ma sun!
AAC, Take it Back. Action.
