Violent attack on election material on Thursday in Akwa Ibom State marred the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primaries in the state.

Hundreds of the party faithful in the state waited for the arrival of voting materials for the primaries but the convoy was allegedly hit by violence on transit.

At about 6 pm, a violent video online showed an attack on the bus conveying the materials and possible diversion to an undisclosed location.

This incident caused party delegates to wait endlessly at the party secretariat for the arrival of officials and materials without success as of press time.

Earlier, Sen. Ita Enang told our reporter at about 5 pm that they were still expecting the arrival of officials to conduct the primaries.

It is unclear which factions were responsible for the attacks but as of 7 p.m. no elections were conducted and no statement was issued by party officials.

APC State Chairman, Stephen Ntukepko, did not respond to his call though some of the party delegates were disappointed with the absence of primaries and the lack of direction by the leadership of the party.

"Am not happy at all with what has transpired today. It is disgraceful. I sacrificed my time yesterday and barely slept. I was equally expecting to get some money as a delegate."

A lady simply identified as Madam Agi told reporters at the Stephen Ntukekpo led APC secretariat in Ekpo Obot.

At the Share Grace Arena, parallel APC primaries were expected to hold but did not as the only aspirant in the factions, John Udoedehde did not show up till late into the evening.

The attack has caused tensions and insecurity within the party secretariats and beyond. Some party loyalists say growing acrimony has caused uncertainty and fear for safety.

We are notified that certain individuals are being haunted by violent men as a result of no conduct of the primaries in Uyo.
