Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, the Senate Leader, has urged all All Progressives Congress (APC) aspirants contesting National Assembly seats in Ekiti State to accept the results of the party's 2027 primaries. He stated that every aspirant would participate in the process, whether the party adopted consensus or direct primaries. Bamidele emphasized that the primaries would be inclusive and all candidates must abide by the outcome. The directive comes ahead of the 2027 general elections. He made the statement in Ado-Ekiti while addressing APC members. No date has been set for the primary elections. The party has not disclosed the specific guidelines for candidate selection. Bamidele called for unity among party members and discouraged any form of internal conflict.
Senator Opeyemi Bamidele calls for unity while acknowledging the APC may use consensus, not votes, to pick candidates. If consensus overrides primaries, aspirants' participation means little. Accepting results becomes a one-way demand on others, not a mutual commitment. This sets the stage for disputes, not resolution.
