Two governorship contestants of the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State, have allayed fears that the coming primary election of the party will be rigged.

Bamisile, who is a former speaker of the state’s House of Assembly, noted that he already had to his side, about 1,500 delegates, expected to vote at the primary election.
Bamisile made the remarks while hosting delegates and party members from all the 16 local government areas of the state, to an Easter get-together at his residence in GRA, Ado-Ekiti.
