 …Says other party members are free to contest primary against him

From Romanus Ugwu, Abuja

The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee (NWC) has disclosed that the ruling party will not print a single ticket for the 2027 presidential election despite endorsing President Bola Tinubu as the sole candidate of the party.

Speaking in a press parley at the party’s national secretariat, National Organising Secretary of the party, Suleiman Argungu, said that other members of the party are free to purchase the presidential ticket to contest the primary of the party.

“It will be the wish of the party, and we, the NWC of the party, have already endorsed President Tinubu as the next presidential candidate of the party. And by extension, other organs have equally done the same thing.

“Governors in the states have done the same too. It has also been replicated in all six geographical zones of the country. But it does not mean that the door is closed.

“It also means that when the time comes, we will make our timetable known so that for anybody who wants to aspire for the president of this country, either in the platform of the APC, will not be denied the opportunity to purchase the nomination forms,” he said.
