Direct Primaries: There Should Be Other Options - Buhari by oshozondii(op): 8:06pm On Jan 05, 2022

President Muhammadu Buhari has said he personally doesn’t believe in direct primaries in choosing candidates of various political parties for elections.

The President’s refusal to assent to the Electoral Amendment Bill had generated different reactions.

The Senate had earlier threatened to override the President’s veto before it backtracked.

Speaking on his rejection of the Bill in a chat with Channels Television, Buhari stated that there should be options in choosing candidates for election.

He said introducing only direct primaries is not democratic.

“You can’t dictate to people and say you are doing democracy. There should be options. We must not insist it must be direct primaries,” he said.

The President promised to give assent to the Bill if the National Assembly reworks and sends it again.

Bullshit

Option A4 is cheap and feasible...

In a 5000 delegate direct primaries system, 2 people would be selected by Governors in each local government, the rest of the over 3000 delegates are Senators , Governors, Ministers and other Politicians living out millions of ordinary citizens from the nomination process

Did Tinubu at anytime call for Direct or indirect primaries

Kano, Bornu, Lagos , Katsina would have highest numbers of delegates and Tinibu has enough resources to buy them to his side

What we are saying is let everyone vote, so that Atiku Abubakar wont suddenly fly in from Dubai and bribe every delegates, making Wike , Fayose and SouthEast PDP members look like fools on the day of Primaries
