Morka said the decision was taken at an emergency meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) in Abuja on Tuesday.

“The NWC deliberated on the report and resolved that the Edo governorship primary election has not been completed and has now fixed Thursday, February 22, for the completion of the primary election process,” he said.

Imo State Governor and chairman of the Edo APC governorship primary election committee, Hope Uzodimma, had declared a member of the House Representatives, Dennis Idahosa, as the winner of the primaries.
