Addressing reporters in Awka, the Anambra State capital, the AFI National Coordinator, Chinedu Onyeizugbe commended all the political parties for organising what he described as “free, fair and transparent” primary elections. He, however, urged parties having internal fracas to urgently constitute an appeal panel to unite aggrieved members.
