Reacting to the development in an Instagram post shared this afternoon, ChiefPriest clarified that he boycotted the primaries after learning yesterday morning that his local government area was excluded from fielding a candidate for the election. He stated that he immediately left Imo State for Lagos, challenging anyone to prove they saw him at the venue.
The primary election concluded with the incumbent lawmaker emerging victorious to retain the party’s ticket.
