Peter Obi Advocates for Direct Primaries in ADC

Bashir Ahmad, who served as an aide to the late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, has suggested that Peter Obi is pushing for the adoption of direct primaries within the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Ahmad's comments emerged in the context of the National Assembly's recent decision to remove the option for direct primaries from Nigeria's electoral framework.

This amendment was assented to by President Bola Tinubu on Thursday, effectively ending the provision for direct primaries in the political party system in Nigeria. Ahmad's post on social media highlighted Obi's clear support for this initiative within the ADC, indicating a significant shift in the political landscape following the legislative changes.
