Reports indicated that materials meant for areas such as Makurdi/Guma and Gwer East/Gwer West were allegedly taken during distribution at the party secretariat in Makurdi.

Party sources said this led to confusion and delays in the start of voting in affected locations.


Some party members claimed the disruption was linked to internal divisions, while others said police intervention helped restore order after tensions rose at the secretariat.

In other parts of the state, late arrival of materials also slowed down the process.


Officials of the APC in the state confirmed the challenges, blaming logistics for the delay in distribution.

They added that while voting continued in some areas, others were expected to resolve issues through consensus arrangements.
