Why Direct Primary Clause Was Included in Electoral Bill - Wike | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers, has alleged that the clause on direct primaries for political parties was deliberately included in the electoral act amendment bill so that the president wouldn’t assent to it.

Wike made this known in a statement by Kelvin Ebiri, his special assistant on media.

According to the governor: “Three weeks ago, I told Nigerians that there is a conspiracy not to have a free, fair, transparent election in 2023 and that conspiracy was very clear. And I told Nigerians, Mr President will not sign the electoral act amendment bill,”

“What APC resolved in the meeting they had was that their problem is not necessarily direct primaries, but the electronic transmission of result in 2023.

“If they allow that, obviously APC will lose the election in 2023 and they told themselves that the only way we can survive that is to include the direct primaries in the bill so that Mr President can use that as an excuse, that he will not sign the bill.

“Unfortunately, you don’t have a national assembly that has what it takes, that will stand for the people, that will say ‘look, we were elected by the people and we want to give the people the best’.

“Nobody in the national assembly, not even the leadership, can have what it takes to say ‘Mr President, for the interest of Nigerians, we are going to veto this your refusal’.”
