APC Forum Commends Direct Primaries in Nasarawa State

The APC Forum has praised the adoption of direct primaries in Nasarawa State, calling it a commendable and bold step towards deepening democracy. The statement, jointly signed by the forum's national coordinator Barrister Johnson Prey Aganaba and secretary Alhaji Abdulkarim Ibrahim, highlighted that the direct primary system would enhance internal democracy by allowing registered party members to directly select candidates, rather than relying on a limited number of delegates.

The forum stressed that this approach would strengthen party structures, build trust and confidence among members, and demonstrate a commitment to transparency and fairness in the electoral process. Furthermore, the forum noted that this move aligns with ongoing calls for electoral reform across Nigeria and sets an example for other political parties in the state.

They applauded Governor Sule's leadership and urged stakeholders to ensure the implementation of the direct primary system is conducted peacefully and transparently. The forum reaffirmed its commitment to promoting good governance and democratic ideals in Nigeria.
