Nigerian politician and current national chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole, has warned political aspirants that no one will be offered an automatic ticket in APC anymore. Oshiomhole said this on Thursaday while inaugurating members of the non-National Working Committee members in Abuja.
He said, “We have lots of options in our constitution. We have the option of direct primaries. By direct primaries, you remove the power from delegates to party members and so, if you think that you can compromise the delegates and undermine the wises of majority of our members, we will call our members to do the voting. So, all those options are open. If we ask you to do consensus, you refuse to do consensus and you want to do a one-man show, knowing that one man cannot do election, we will neutralise those abuse of privileges by allowing direct membership participation.
“This leadership cannot be compromised. We will not be intimidated and we will not misuse our privileges to deny any one of our members appropriate opportunities to contests and have the opportunity to serve the country.”
