The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has approved the mode of primaries for Saturday, September 29, governorship primary elections scheduled to hold across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
In the arrangement, 19 states will hold their primaries via indirect primaries and 17 through direct primaries.
The NWC also banned the Adamawa State Working Committee from participating either as delegates or superintendents over the governorship primaries holding in the State.
“This is due to the fact that the Adamawa State Working Committee was prejudiced in favour of a governorship aspirant,” according to a statement signed by Yakini Nabena, the acting APC spokesman on Tuesday.
