He further told our report that despite the confusion going on, the Chairperson of Ugwunagbo Local Government Area, Hon. Mrs Joy Nnanta wanted the process which according to him would have disenfranchised 15 other delegates to go on.
"While that confusion was going on, the council chairman and a few others insisted that the process must go on, but the state officials of the party who came to conduct the primaries had to put a phone to the State Party Chairman who gave the directive that they should suspend the process and return to UmuahiaÔÇØ he concluded.
