A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the party’s 2019 presidential aspirant, Chief Charles Udeogaranya, has advised the party leadership to perish the idea of a sole ticket, vowing to go to court if the party refuses to allow his aspiration to lead Nigeria in 2027 under the APC.
In a statement, he said even if he eventually did win the party’s ticket, he would be happy that his party followed the democratic principles to the letter.
He said his right to vote and be voted for is sacrosanct and fully protected by the Nigerian constitution.
He maintained that APC must follow the democratic principles and be seen to be a democratic party.
He stressed that democracy, in reality, translates to giving equal opportunity, privilege and incentive to all.
“Where then is the opportunity, privilege and incentive for all members of the APC, when the party has already gone ahead to endorse a would-be aspirant, who has not even declared his interest,” he asked.
