THE National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has nullified the primary election that produced Mr Festus Adefiranye as the candidate for Odigbo/Ileoluji/Okeigbo Federal Constituency in Ondo State.

It proclaimed the daughter of renowned Yoruba author, Chief D. O Fagunwa, Mrs Yejide Ogundipe as the duly elected candidate of the party.

The party leadership upheld the recommendation of the National Appeal Committee to the effect that Mrs Ogundipe scored 189 votes to defeat Adefinranye who polled 188 votes.

Also the NWC upheld the election of Chief Tayo Alasoadura as the candidate for Ondo Central Senatorial District.
