Ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday broke its silence on the shadow polls that have pitted its members against one another.

Its actions, the National Publicity Secretary, Lanre Issa-Onilu explained, were not only taken in new faith, but informed by the party’s resolve to return power to the people.

Appraising the post-primary crisis in states, the spokesman said there are two sides to every contest and that it was natural for those who lost out in the primaries to ventilate their anger.

The aggrieved, Issa-Onilu said, would have reacted differently if the process that produced the party’s candidates had favoured them.

Issa-Onilu stated the party’s position on the post-primary issues in a chat yesterday with reporters at the National Secretariat in Abuja.

The APC leadership under its National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, is under attack by some individuals, who lost out at the shadow polls.
