Panic as APC approves mode of primaries for states; It’s direct primary for Lagos

The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee (NWC) has approved both the direct and indirect mode of primaries for its governorship election scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 29, in the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

This was contained in a statement issued by Mr Yekini Nabena, the APC National Publicity Secretary, on Tuesday in Abuja.

Nabena, however, said that the party’s NWC banned its Adamawa State Working Committee from participating either as delegates or to superintendent over the governorship primaries in the state.

He said this was because the Adamawa State Working Committee of the party was prejudiced in favour of a particular governorship aspirant.

The resolution and mode of primaries adopted by each state of the federation and the FCT according to the statement, is as seen below.
