ABUJA — The chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF), Atiku Bagudu has disclosed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) may use an indirect primary mode to pick its candidates for the 2023 elections.
He made this known while speaking with journalists on Wednesday after the party’s national executive committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja.
He noted that no explicit decision was taken on the mode of primaries.
The governor said the ruling party would create equal opportunities for all aspirants seeking to clinch APC’s tickets at various levels.
“I think what the national assembly has asked for and what the governors have always asked for is equal opportunity,” Bagudu said when he was asked if the party will give “automatic tickets” to national assembly members.
“No party can thrive with equal opportunity. Those who have done well should be supported by the party. We believe that equal opportunity will ensure a proper result.
“There was no explicit decision about the mode of primaries but the timetable seems to suggest that it is indirect primaries,” he said.
