The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that voting commenced at 1.07 pm, with the statutory delegates in the first batch to vote.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Ahmed Bello, said he had deployed a  large number of security personnel to the venue of the primary to ensure a  hitch-free exercise.

But when asked to give the figure of policemen deployed for the exercise, the commissioner declined, saying “permit me to keep that to my chest.’’

“If you look round, you will see my men in every place, can you count them?

“I am just working according to my plans and we will make sure there is no problem, ” he said.
