APC Primaries: Ekiti Accepts Oshiomhole Directives, Adopt Direct Primary For National Assembly

The Ekiti State chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) will conduct the National Assembly primary elections on the 4th of October, 2018 in all the 177 Wards across the state through the direct primary.

According to the statement released by the Publicity Secretary of the party, Hon. Ade Ajayi said, the national working committee had humbly disclosed that the mode of the elections would be by ‘Direct Primary’.

He, therefore, enjoined all genuine party members to participate in the exercise.

The NWC had last week released the guidelines for the conduct of the primaries in all the 36 States and the Federal Capital Territory and the direct primary was specifically slated for Ekiti.

But the party’s SWC in the state at its emergency meeting held on Monday, October 1, took a decision that ran contrary to what the Oshiomhole-led NWC had directed , by opting for the indirect system.

Some National Assembly contestants protested on Tuesday against the decision of the State Working Committee (SWC) to adopt the indirect method for the conduct of its primary ahead of the 2019 general elections.
