idahosa: The issue of direct or indirect primary, it is very clear that primary is a domestic issue of a political party. There is a Supreme Court judgment on that. I think Oshiomhole is just out to do a lot of destruction
Chief Charles Idahosa is a former Commissioner for Information and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Edo state. He spoke with reporters on the antagonistic agitations for direct and indirect primary in the chapter. Excerpts:
On the issue of direct or indirect primary, it is very clear that primary is a domestic issue of a political party. There is a Supreme Court judgment on that. I think Oshiomhole is just out to do a lot of destruction just like he did in Zamfara and other states. What surprises me most is that all the leaders of the party are just waiting for him to destroy the fabrics of the democracy of APC. Why they are doing that, I don’t know.
There are insinuation that Governor Obaseki and those loyal to him are afraid of direct primary which is why they are against it. How will you respond to that? If Oshiomhole used indirect primary to produce Obaseki then like you said, why do you think he is insisting on direct primary now?
