APC and Tinubu Ceding Control of Primary Elections

Frank Tietie, a legal practitioner, expressed in an interview on Arise Television that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu are ceding substantial influence and control of the primary election process to state governors. Tietie's remarks come in light of the current political activities in Nigeria as the country approaches the 2027 general elections.

He emphasized the need for the process to protect the rights of aspirants, noting that individuals should have the option to voluntarily withdraw their candidacy forms. Tietie warned that any breach of this process could lead individuals to seek legal recourse through the courts.

His comments reflect concerns about transparency and fairness in the political landscape as Nigeria prepares for future elections.
