Spark News recalls that the said primary election which was held in Benin City, the state capital has generated a lot of controversies with the chairman of the election committee, governor Hope Uzodinma declaring Hon. Dennis Idahosa as the winner, while the state returning officer, Ugboaja Stanley, announced Senator Monday Okpebholo as the winner.
The crisis became compounded when the Edo North billionaire, Hon. Amanero Dekeri, in tacit consent with some party members, declared himself the winner of the primary.
