Yobe APC adopts consensus for 2027 primaries

The All Progressives Congress, Yobe state chapter, has adopted consensus as the mode for its 2027 primary elections.

Senator Ahmed Lawan (Yobe North) stated this while briefing journalists at the end of the party’s stakeholders’ meeting in Damaturu on Thursday.

He said consensus would be adopted for the governorship, National Assembly and State Assembly primary elections.

“Out of the two modes specified by the Electoral Act — consensus and direct primary elections — Yobe APC has picked consensus.

“And from our previous experience, consensus has always worked for us in this state.

“Any candidate that emerges in any position will receive the support of all in this party, including aspirants who may have wished they were the ones picked,” Lawan said.

The stakeholder said the party had internal mechanisms for reaching out to aspirants who did not succeed.

He pledged that the party would deliver 3.5 million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election and more votes for its candidates in the National and State Assembly elections.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the stakeholders earlier unanimously endorsed Tinubu for a second term in office during the meeting.

Governor Mai Mala Buni said the state had benefited immensely from the numerous projects, programmes and policies of the Federal Government led by the president. (NAN)
