News Agency of NigeriaAziegbemi said once that election was done, the party would be ready for the primaries billed for June 19.
According to him, the party expects over 2,000 delegates for the governorship primaries, which will be conducted according to the party’s constitution.that the party had recently held very peaceful congresses in the state to elect the three ad hoc delegates for the primaries.On why the party adopted indirect primaries to elect a candidate for the September 19 governorship election, Aziegbemi said indirect primaries were more organised and credible.
He explained that the party’s constitution was very clear on how a governorship candidate in a state must emerge. Besides, he said the party stood by the resolution reached and passed by the leadership of the party that there should be no zoning of the governorship ticket.“I can tell you that we have three capable and talented members of the party from these zones who have picked their forms at N21 million each and have been screened.
“Any of them who eventually picks the ticket on June 19, can beat anyone the other parties pick as their candidate come September,” he said.
