ADVERT RATE

In Anambra State, the APC on Sunday said it had adopted consensus option to pick its governorship and other elective positions’ candidates for the 2019 general elections.

The decision, one of our correspondents learnt, was taken by statutory members of the Anambra State Caucus of the APC led by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige.

The decision, it was gathered, could trigger legal actions in the party any moment from now.

The Publicity Secretary of the party in the state, Mr Okelo Madukaife, confirmed our findings in a statement he issued in Awka on Sunday after the APC stakeholders’ meeting.

He stated, “The meeting also resolved that in areas where for any reason, consensus fails, the direct primaries option will be used to produce candidates.”

But a senatorial aspirant on the party’s platform who spoke with one of our correspondents on condition of anonymity described the decision as self-serving and undemocratic.

He said,” This is undemocratic. On Monday, I will proceed to court to stop this perfidy. Our national office had directed for direct or indirect primaries, but some selfish people in this state have changed the goalpost at the middle of the game. This cannot stand. It’s unjust, unfair and undemocratic.”
