APC Reps Primaries: President Tinubu Kicks Against Alleged Governor's Imposition of Candidates During Reps Primaries

Reliable information emerging from Bourdillon, Ikoyi residence of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (PBAT), following a late-night meeting with South-West APC leaders yesterday, reveals the President’s deep displeasure over reports of internal party developments across the nation.

According to sources privy to the meeting, President Tinubu reportedly stated:

“I am a party constitutional democrat. Yes, I gave governors the privilege to coordinate and take charge of party affairs in their respective states, but I did not ask anyone to impose candidates indiscriminately.

Even where necessary, no one should be a judge in his own case.

"Where free and fair primary elections did not take place, I have directed the National Chairman and National Secretary to do the needful in restoring the integrity of the party."
