The Ondo APC has been embroiled in crisis since the rumours circulated that the National leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu endorsed one of the candidates.
On Thursday, August 18, warring members engaged each other in a gunfight at the APC secretariat in Akure, the Ondo state capital.
On Tuesday, August 30, fetish objects were placed in front of the party secretariat to prevent members from gaining access into the building.
Last week, there were rumours that the primary election of the party maybe held in a military barrack to prevent breakdown of law and order.
The Ondo state director of media and publicity, Steve Otaloro yesterday, September 1, released a statement on the ground rules for the primary election.
