Danger ahead for APC govs as party threatens to cancel indirect primaries

All Progressives Congress, APC, governors bidding to use the indirect or consensus options in producing party candidates were, yesterday, coming under fresh threats with the injunction that a protest from any stakeholder or aspirant will lead to the cancellation of the exercise and resort to direct primary.

The seeming opposition by the governors to the direct primary option, Vanguard gathered, yesterday, was a significant reason for the high price placed on the nomination forms of the party.

The governors, it was gathered, had as a result of the rebuff of their pleas for indirect primaries, chosen not to fund the direct primary, a development that has compelled the national secretariat to mobilise funds from the sale of the forms to fund the direct primary option.
