“The leadership of the party at the state level has been empowered by the APC constitution, to decide which mode of primaries to adopt in their state.”
The APC chieftain stated this while briefing newsmen on Monday in Lafia.“A candidate can emerge either through consensus, direct or indirect primaries, depending on what the party decides in any given state.
Wambai, however, stated that the national headquarters of the party decided a direct primary for the upcoming election in Edo because there were factions in the state. “So, to avoid the Zamfara experience, the party at the national level decided that direct primaries are the only way out,” Wambai stated.
He lauded President Muhammadu Buhari’s developmental strides and pledged the support of members of the party in the zone to enable him to succeed.
