VIDEO: Ekiti PDP chieftains exchange blows over delegate list

Accreditation of delegates at the Ekiti State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary turned dramatic after some chieftains exchanged blows.

During the accreditation of delegates on Wednesday, there was a heated argument and fisticuff among some of the chieftains of the opposition PDP in the state over the authentication of certain delegates from some local governments.

Some argued that certain individuals are not supposed to be on the list, alleging that their names were smuggled in.

However, the exercise later enjoined relative calm after the intervention of security operatives.

Akwa Ibom State Governor Udom Emmanuel is the head of the committee superintending over the primary poll.

While some delegates and aspirants also expressed satisfaction with the process, others raise early doubts.
