Peter Obi pushes direct primaries in ADC after Tinubu signs Electoral Act
Former Buhari aide Bashir Ahmad alleges Peter Obi and supporters push for direct primaries in African Democratic Congress (ADC) following National Assembly's removal of direct primaries option. The amendment was assented to by President Tinubu on Thursday, ending direct primaries in Nigeria's electoral framework. Ahmad posted on X: 'Peter Obi and supporters were pushing for direct primaries within ADC. National Assembly erased option for all parties, amendment assented today.' The move impacts ADC's internal processes and Nigeria's electoral system.
