The All Progressives Congress (APC) is set to hold its governorship primary today to select its candidate for the November 11 election
The mode of the party primary became serious issue of contention as the governor Yahaya Bello camp of the party insisted on the indirect delegates mode while other aspirants kicked against it on the basis that the primary if held with the current delegates’ list may not be free and fair. The aggrieved party now challenged the decision of the National working committee to abide with the indirect mode while that of Bayelsa and Imo are to be conducted through direct mode. The court early this week ruled in favour of the aggrieved party.
With this, the state chairman of the party, Abdullai Bello confirmed that the party had adopted the direct mode of primary for the primary election slated to hold toddy.
