In a state like Kaduna where Governor Nasir El-Rufai is seeking to prevent the return to senate of Shehu Sani, with whom he has been engaged in a bitter tussle, his preferred choice of indirect primary was approved.  

Had pushed for direct primary to stand a fighting chance against El-Rufai’s Chief of Staff, Uba Sani.

In Adamawa, Governor Bindow Jibrilla, in a bid to frustrate threats to his reelection emanating from major challengers like EFCC chairman, Nuhu Ribadu, had requested indirect primaries with the backing of the state party leadership. His request was approved.

In Lagos where APC national leader, Bola Tinubu is reportedly trying to scuttle the reelection bid of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, his preferred choice of direct primary was approved, preparing the grounds for Jide Sanwo-Olu, already endorsed by Tinubu’s Mandate Group, to emerge.

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has approved the mode of primaries for Saturday, September 29th, 2018 governorship primary elections scheduled to hold across the thirty-six states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
