The All Progressives Congress
(APC) has released full details on the resolution of the National Executive
Committee (NEC) on the mode of the party’s primary election.
It explained that this became
necessary as the NEC decision has been subjected to different misleading
interpretations.
Yekini Nabena, APC National
Publicity Secretary, in a statement on Friday, made
clarifications on NEC’s resolutions.
He said: “Primary Elections into
all elective offices shall be by the Direct and Indirect Election or by
Consensus. The use of the Direct and Indirect Primaries shall however depend on
the peculiarity and need of a given State.
“In each case, the State
Executive Committee (SEC) shall in consultation with candidates and other
critical stakeholders of the Party in a given State identify and forward for
the consideration and approval by the National Working Committee (NWC) for the
mode of election to be adopted.
“The adopted mode shall now be
applied to all categories of the Party’s Primary Elections i.e. State Assembly,
Senate, House of Representatives and for the Governorship Elections.
“The request for the selection of
mode of election must be signed by majority of the Executive Committee in
attendance at the meeting where such resolution is reached.
“NEC resolved to adopt the Direct
Primary option for the Presidential Primary.”
