Primaries: Aggrieved APC reps to decide next move after appeal panel decision

Many All Progressives Congress House of Representatives members who lost out at the recent primary election are to decide on their next line of action after the outcome of the appeal they entered before the party’s appeal panel, The PUNCH learnt on Sunday

Findings showed that some of the aggrieved lawmakers felt they were “deliberately edged out” of the primaries to pave the way for the favoured candidates of godfathers or other interests.

A member, who spoke for a group of over 70 lawmakers, largely from the North, Mr Musa Soba, told The PUNCH that they had entered an appeal and were waiting for the outcome.

Soba, who is from Kaduna State, said immediately the matter was dispensed with by the appeal panel, the members would take a decision.
