APC: States insist on indirect primaries
INSPITE of National Executive Committee, NEC’s adoption of direct primaries for the selection of candidates for the 2019 general elections, many state chapters of All Progressives Congress, APC, are insisting on indirect primaries and have adopted the mode.
After the NEC meeting, last week, the party hierarchy initially adopted direct primary for the presidential election and said states could adopt direct or indirect primaries.
However, the party leaders later reversed themselves and said direct primaries would be used for all elective positions. The move has elicited burning disagreements in the party with some governors, leaders, and state chairmen insisting on indirect primaries while some are going for consensus.
Vanguard gathered, yesterday, in Owerri that the meeting under the leadership of Dan Nwafor, will take place at the Imo International Convention Centre, IICC, and attendance is by invitation.
