The National Working Committee, NWC, of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has announced the adoption of direct primary as the method for selecting its presidential candidate ahead of the 2027 general elections.
With this decision, APC members across the country are expected to vote directly for their preferred candidate between President Bola Tinubu, who is seeking a second term in office and Edo State businessman Osifo Stanley, who purchased the party’s N100 million presidential nomination forms.
Meanwhile, President Tinubu on Thursday had formally submitted his Expression of Interest and Nomination forms at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja.
The documents were delivered on his behalf by Vice President Kashim Shettima.
Recall that a member of the House of Representatives, James Faleke, had earlier picked up the nomination forms on behalf of the President at the party’s national secretariat on Tuesday.
DAILY POST had also reported that Osifo Stanley, a chieftain of the ruling party, had also confirmed his intention to contest the APC presidential ticket, setting up a potential internal contest against the incumbent president.
