The primary election appeal panel set up by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to address petitions of aspirants who contested in Monday’s primary poll of the party ahead of the October 10, Ondo State governorship election has commenced sitting in Abuja without any petition.

The appeal panel is to sit from Wednesday (yesterday) to Friday, after which it would submit its report to the APC National Caretaker Committee headed by Governor Mai Mala Buni on Monday.

Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, who is seeking a second term of office, emerged candidate of the APC after defeating eight other contenders. Three aspirants had stepped down from the race before the primary.

Addressing newsmen at the APC National Secretariat on Wednesday, chairman of the appeal panel, Emperor Chris Baywood Ibe, said the committee was yet to receive any petition against Akeredolu.
