Abuja (Precise Post) – The Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum, Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi State, has said the party may adopt an indirect mode of primaries next month.
Fielding questions from journalists shortly after the NEC meeting, the governor said although the primary was not discussed at the meeting, other parameters indicated the adoption of an indirect mode.
“There was no explicit discussion about the mode of primaries. But the timetable seems to suggest that it is indirect primaries,” he said.
Phone calls made to the National Publicity Secretary of the APC went unanswered as text messages sent to him were not replied to.
But in an interview on Channels TV’s Politics on Wednesday, Morka said, “The APC has not decided on the mode of primaries. As a matter of fact, such discussion was not on the agenda at the NEC meeting held earlier today.
In the next couple of days, the party will make its position known on the zoning formula and mode of primaries.”
The NEC meeting was attended by the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Senate President, Dr Ahmad Lawan, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, and other principal officers of the National Assembly, APC governors and state party chairmen.
