The committee was inaugurated today by the APC Lagos Chairman, Cornelius Ojelabi, at the party secretariat in Ikeja.

Ojelabi noted that the committee will ensure the success of primaries and enjoined party members to support the committee in order to have a successful election.

This development is coming a few days after the APC reviewed its timetable for the primary elections.

The party primaries for the House of Representatives and Governorship will now be held on the same day, May 26. Also, May 27 is the new date for primaries for the Senate and State House of Assembly.
