Confusion in kogi as another 37 governorship aspirants endorse indirect primary
It seems like there's a developing story in Kogi State, Nigeria!
According to reports, another 37 governorship aspirants in Kogi State have endorsed the indirect primary method for the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary election. This comes as a surprise, as many had expected the aspirants to back the direct primary method, which was initially proposed by the party.
The indirect primary method involves the selection of delegates who will vote for the party's candidate, whereas the direct primary method would have allowed all party members to vote. The indirect method is often seen as a way for party leaders to influence the outcome of the election.
The endorsement of the indirect primary method by the 37 aspirants has caused confusion among party members and supporters, with some calling for a reversal of the decision. The APC had initially announced that it would adopt the direct primary method, but the party's National Working Committee (NWC) later changed its mind and opted for the indirect primary method.
The controversy has sparked concerns about the integrity of the election process and the potential for manipulation by party leaders. Some have accused the party's leadership of trying to rig the election in favor of a particular candidate.
The situation is still unfolding, and it remains to be seen how the party will proceed. Will the APC stick to its decision to use the indirect primary method, or will there be a change of heart? Only time will tell!
