Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has vowed to make a joint decision with aspiring APC candidates on the mode of primaries to be used in the 2027 elections. The governor made this promise during a meeting with APC governorship aspirants in the state. He stated that preference would be given to aspirants who suggest the mode of primaries to be deployed.
The governor's decision is aimed at ensuring a smooth and peaceful primary election. The meeting with APC governorship aspirants was part of efforts to strengthen the party ahead of the 2027 elections. Sule's administration is keen on maintaining a strong APC presence in the state.
Abdullahi Sule's promise to involve aspirants in the decision-making process on primaries mode is a welcome development. This move suggests that the governor is willing to listen to the concerns of his party members. However, the success of this approach hinges on the ability of the aspirants to come up with a viable and acceptable mode of primaries. The impact of this decision on the APC's chances in the 2027 elections remains to be seen. As Nigerians, we expect the party to put the interests of the people above all else.
