The statement was however silent on the mode of primary. The APC 2014 Constitution, (as amended) makes provision for direct, indirect and consensus options for the emergence of its candidates for general elections.

Checks however revealed that in the Electoral Act No 6 2010 (Repeal and Re-enactment) Bill 2021, passed by both chambers of the National Assembly the direct primary was adopted as the only option for the selection of candidates for all political parties.

The amended bill however awaits the presidential assent of President Muhammadu Buhari.
