A total of 2,092 delegates are expected to take part in the gubernatorial primary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to choose its flag bearer among the three contending candidates. Out of this, there are 1,585 statutory delegates while elected national and ad-hoc delegates total 491. All members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party are also members of the appeals committee. But the party was unable to replace the withdrawn delegates because of the shortness of time. Ologbodiyan observed that the processes leading to primary were transparent, noting that this accounted for why nobody was complaining.
