Senator Yakubu Oseni, the senator representing the good people of Kogi central has called on all “patriotic Kogi APC members” in Kogi State to respect the law of the party, and “submit to the supremacy of the party” over the party decision to adopt indirect mode of primary election in Kogi state to elect it party governor candidate for 16th November governorship election in Kogi State.

Oseni said this, today morning while reacting to the protest by some party member, who disagree with the decision of indirect primaries election in the state.

Oseni in his message said, “KOGI APC PRIMARY: MY TAKE”

“The media space has recently been overwhelmed with pockets of reactions (for and against) the indirect mode of primary election adopted by the leadership of our party in the forthcoming gubernatorial poll in Kogi State.

“The recent being a failed/attempted protest by some aggrieved individuals at the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja was uncalled for.

“APC, as the largest political party in Africa is guided by its constitution which abundantly recognizes internal democracy in line with the directives of the country’s electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

“The National Working Committee (NWC) of our great party permits that a candidate could be fielded for a general election through either of the following ways:
(a) Direct Primary
(b) Indirect Primary
(c) Consensus

“In view of the above and as a result of its ease of conduct, Kogi State Excos and stakeholders met and adopted indirect primary which permits delegates to make the choice of their flag bearer. This exercise does not in any way contravene APC constitution neither is it strange to real card-carrying members of the party in the state and country in particular.
