Kogi Guber: APC Reviewing Petitions Against Indirect Primaries

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

The All Progressive Congress (APC) has assured aggrieved stakeholders in Kogi State of its readiness to review petitions against the adoption of indirect primaries for the election of party’s candidate for the November 16, governorship poll.

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the party noted that it would look at the merit of the petitions in line with the party’s constitution and come out with a position in due course just as it thanked the aggrieved stakeholders for the peaceful manner deployed in addressing the issue.

The ruling party in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, in Abuja late on Wednesday said: “The NWC will look at the merit of the petitions in line with the Party’s constitution and come out with a position in due course. The NWC, therefore, thank the aggrieved APC stakeholders in Kogi State for the peaceful manner in which they have conducted themselves so far and their trust in the NWC to do the right thing.

“It needs restating that the APC Constitution which was reemphasized by a decision of National Executive Committee (NEC) provides for three modes of primaries to elect Party candidates – Indirect, Direct Primaries and consensus – depending on the peculiarities of the state and preferences of the stakeholders in respective elections. We assure all concerned parties that the NWC would be guided only by our rules.”
