APGA urges INEC to reintroduce indirect primaries due to logistics challenges
APGA National Chairman Sylvester Ezeokenwa has called on INEC to reintroduce indirect primaries, arguing that smaller parties lack the logistics to conduct direct primaries nationwide. Speaking on Channels Television's Politics Today, Ezeokenwa stated the issue isn't about conducting elections during COVID but about the National Assembly's position stifling smaller parties. He highlighted the logistical challenge of organizing primaries in over 8,800 wards across Nigeria, making indirect primaries necessary for equitable participation.
