Abia APC caucus settles for direct primaries

To avoid imposition and rancour capable of truncating the party’s chances in the forthcoming general elections, the Abia state chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon Donatus Nwankpa said the party has adopted the direct primary system for their primaries

Speaking to journalists after closed door caucus meeting with the aspirants at the party secretariat yesterday in Umuahia, he stated: “based on the veritable facts available to us we have decided to make things open through direct primaries in Abia for the purpose of allowing the grassroots and members of the party to choose those who will fly their flags.”

The party, he said “has refused to allow few persons to determine those who will fly its flag in the coming elections”.
