*Group demands cancellation

The Kwara state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Assembly primaries were characterized again yesterday with violence in Ilorin West Local Government area.

The House of Assembly primaries penultimate Saturday in the same local government area was marred by violence.

Suspected thugs loyal to one of the PDP chieftains in the council yesterday allegedly unleashed attack on several innocent members of the party.

A group named Think Thank in the party said: "Not less than five of the duly elected delegates from the local government have been rushed to the hospital after both masked and uniformed security personnel and sponsored thugs were set on them by a chieftain of the PDP in Kwara State."

The group has therefore demanded for the immediate cancellation of National Assembly primaries in the state.

"Since nothing can be built on nothing, we hereby demand the immediate cancellation of the kangaroo National Assembly Primary of the PDP in Kwara State.

"Anything sort of this is an invitation to anarchy and a possible implosion from and revolt against the PDP in Kwara state. A stitch in time saves nine," the group added."
