Aganaba told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Yenagoa that the National Working Committee of the party listened to the complaints of all the aspirants and the Primary Committee in arriving at the decision.

He applauded the Chief John Oyegun led National Executive of the party, for the decision to cancel the primary election.
